Lemonade
Lemonade is the taste of summer. This sweet and sour refreshing drink is not just for kids. We have a Meyer Lemon bush in our yard, it surpluses me the lemons for most of the year, but it might run out this year if I keep making lemonade.
I had the best lemonade on my very first trip to San Francisco. We were sitting at a restaurant in Sausalito on a terraces over the water, a sunny January day, overlooking San Francisco - it was perfection. I spend this afternoon on my terrace reading and sipping lemonade.
Here is my version of the perfect summer drink.
1 pitcher full
Ingredients:
Simple syrup:
- ½ cup (1 dl) water
- ½ cup (1 dl) sugar
Lemonade:
- 3-5 lemons, the juice of (I used Meyer lemons)
- 3-4 cups water for diluting
- ice cubes
Direction:
Make the simple syrup first, by heating the water and sugar, while stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let the syrup cool down.
Juice the lemons. Pour lemon juice into a pitcher with water some simple syrup and ice cubes. Add more water and syrup to the lemonade to your taste
Enjoy.
