Homemade Cloudy Lemonade

August 10, 2014


It feels a bit odd to be posting such a summery recipe on a day where the weather is currently doing what’s locally know as “pishin’ it doon”, but rain or no rain it is still technically summer so I’ll continue eating ice lollies and wearing sandals for the time being!

I’ve never been a big fan of standard shop-bought lemonade – I always find it tastes a bit artificial and nothing like actual lemons. So, this year I decided to take matters into my own hands after figuring it couldn’t be that difficult to make lemonade. Luckily, I was correct – this is a super simple recipe that takes about 15 minutes to whip up and is delightfully refreshing on a hot summer’s day (or, erm, a rainy one…)

Homemade Cloudy Lemonade

Yield: 2 litres

Homemade Cloudy Lemonade

Ingredients

  • 6 – 8 large lemons
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 2 litres cold water (still or sparkling)
  • plenty of ice cubes!

Instructions

  1. Add all the sugar and enough water to just cover it to a small saucepan and simmer over a low heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  2. Juice all the lemons and remove any stones. If you prefer your lemonade with no pulp, pass the juice through a sieve at this stage.
  3. Add the cooled sugar syrup, lemon juice and cold water to a large pitcher and stir to mix. Serve over ice or store in the fridge for later.

Notes

Room temperature lemons give up their juice more easily so resist the urge to refrigerate them first! This recipe makes quite a strong lemonade so if you prefer a more subtle, sweet taste you can add more sugar/water or reduce the amount of lemon juice. One of the great things about this recipe is that it’s really easy to adjust once you’ve made it!
