For my birthday 2 of the 112 boys, who live down the street from me, gave me lemons. I have no idea why, whether they’re trying to say something about me (have no idea what is ‘lemony’ about me!) or it’s just pure random.
So I had a couple of lemons, not knowing what to do, until I suddenly thought of making lemonade, stereotypically a pastime done by American kids selling it for 5 cents a cup.
After a pancake party we had, there was also loads of lemon juice left over as well, so I found a recipe on the internet and on Monday before Prayer Lunch decided to make it.
The recipe is really simple, all you need is sugar, lemon juice and water. The measurements were in cups, now I didn’t know if there was an actual cup measurement or you just use a mug. I used a mug
In a pan gently heat one cup of sugar and one cup of water until the sugar dissolves. To this add one cup of lemon juice and stir. Add to a big jug and dilute it with 3-4 cups of water to taste, then chill it. It’s best serve with ice cubes but I didn’t have any. A good tip i found is to make ice cubes with the actual lemonade, so when they melt, they don’t dilute the taste of the drink further.
For my first try, I thought it tasted ok, maybe a bit too much sugar, but people seemed to like, especially Martin! Hmmm…i spot a money making oppurtunity…:P
