Lemonade

Have a glut of lemons - that well known seasonal fruit!!
How do I make that frothy looking lemonade that doesn't make your mouth cats bum when you drink it?

Someone posted a really good lemonade recipe earlier on this year, but I can't remember who to acknowlwdge them!

fill your blender jug 3/4 full of cold water, add sugar to taste & a lemon (you don't even have to chop it up). Whizz. Strain to get the nasty bits out. The precise quantities are a bit hit & miss, sometimes you might need a bit more water or more sugar. Depends on the lemon really.

Look under "drinks" in the Cooking section of the MEGA Index and you'll find more info on soft drinks, lemonade and cordials.

I have just bought two large bags of lemons (reduced to 9p at morrisons). i bought them hoping someone here would know how to make lemonade?

Hi Prudent,
How about this?
Ingredients
½ lemon, juice only
2 tsp icing sugar, sifted
¾ glass water
3 mint leaves
ice cubes, for serving

Just mix it all together. This is for still lemonade.
Hope that's helpful.

I don't suppose the 'reduced to clear' corriander would replace the mint?

Don't know about lemonade sorry, but how about making lemon curd - there's a recipe on here (in the index I think). Its really easy to make and also really tasty!

I simply hadn't thought of that. DD loves lemon curd too. I will make some tomorrow or Wednesday. Many thanks for the suggestion.

Most home-made lemonade is made with still water, but here's an easy one which is fizzy -
