Lemonade Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 x Meyer lemon, squeezed, pulp and juice, seeds optional
- 3 tsp (rounded) sugar (in this case, tsp. means a normal tsp. used at a table place setting) Cool water to fill the glass Optional: lemon peel
- 10 x Meyer lemons (juice and pulp only)
- 1/2 c. Sugar Cool water to complete the gallon
Directions
- We have a Meyer lemon tree in our backyard, so we've experimented with the best porportions for our tastes. For a single glass ( 8-10 ounce.)
- 1 meyer lemon - squeezed, pulp and juice, seeds optional (it just
- depends on how lazy you are about picking them out.)
- 3 rounded tsp. of sugar (in this case, tsp. means a normal
- tsp. used at a table place setting)
- cool water to fill the glass
- optional: add in a bit of the lemon peel (we found this didn't seem to
- affect the flavor much.) Caveat:(1) A meyer lemon is a bit sweeter than the "normal" kind you can
- buy in the grocery store. I believe there's a bit of sweet
- orange in its family tree somewhere.
- (2) We like tart lemonade. Another friend of ours who also has
- a Meyer lemon tree uses a fair bit more sugar than we do. For a gallon: (Here memory is failing a bit. The lemons were used up a while
- ago.)
- 10 Meyer lemons (juice and pulp only)
- 1/2 c. sugar
- cool water to complete the gallon Caveat: It seems which leaving the seeds in the lemonade causes the lemonade
- to turn bitter when it is left overnight in the fridge.
- Sorry these are English units. A gallon is a bit less than 4 litres. I'd have to look up how many grammes of sugar are in a c.. If you want me to convert the recipe, let me know.
