Super Refreshing Homemade Lemonade Recipes... with Lemons, Limes and/or Strawberries...

Hi Lil'Guys!

This is one of our favorite drink, our delicious and refreshing lemonade , a cypriot recipe that we got from Mr Z. (Maltilda's godfather who is from Cyprus).

Under a hot weather, this drink is divine, perfect for picnic, great for summer parties...

We store our lemon concentrate in a glass bottles that I close with a cute piece of fabric and an elastic, then Matilda got the habit to customize them with her beautiful drawing.

Those makes beautiful gifts for mother's or father's days, or to sale at a school fundraising events...

Here is the recipe:

You will need:
-2 kilos of Lemons
-A pack of caster Sugar
-A clean Cloth
-2 Bowls
-A Wooden Spoon
-A Bottle

To serve:
-A jar
-Ice Cubes
-Water
-Mint (optional)

Squeeze the juice of all the lemons.

Pass the juice trough the cloth to have a juice, free of pulp, clear as possible.

Then you will need to mesure how many cups of juice you get, and it will be the amount of cups of sugar you will add to your lemon juice - Usually I end up with 2 cups and an half of lemon juice, so I will add 2 cups and an half of sugar.

Mix until the sugar is completely dissolved with a wooden spoon.

Your concentrate is ready to bottle...

To serve it:

Pour some of your concentrate in a jar, lots of ice cubes, some fresh mint leaves, and fill up the jar with the water.

Add more concentrate to sweeten your lemonade. Add more water if your lemonade is too sweet.

You can add also some fresh slices of cucumber or a couple of raspberries or piece of melon... It looks amazing and very fancy on a party table!

But now we love to vary the pleasures, sometimes instead of using all lemons, we would use half amount of lemons and the other half, limes. Woww! this mix hit another level of deliciousness!!!!

An other one we tried was 1 kilo of lemons, 1 kilo of limes and 1 kilo of strawberries ( we would pass the strawberries in a juicer, to get all the juice et non of the seeds) This one is just insanely good!!
