Homemade Citrus Lemonade
Drinks • Mexican
Description
Citrus lemonade is a base that you can customize with various syrups (I love pomegranate), freshly squeezed juices, fragrant herbs, and spices. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar — for some, even five tablespoons might taste too sweet.
Ingredients
- Water 1½ l
- Lemon 2 pieces
- Lime 2 pieces
- Oranges 1 piece
- Fresh Mint ½ bunches
- Sugar 5 teaspoons
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Pour boiling water over each citrus fruit and let them sit for a minute. Dry them off and very thinly slice the zest. Transfer the zest to a large heatproof bowl and pour in 1.5 liters of boiling water. Squeeze the juice from the fruits and add it to the water as well.
Step 2
Add sugar, bring to a boil, and then remove from heat. Allow the drink to cool naturally, without using a refrigerator. Once the drink has cooled, add mint by gently crushing the leaves between your fingers, and then chill it in the refrigerator.
