Real Lemonade
The real McCoy, like your gran use to make. Well, maybe. I've made this loads of time from Delia Smith's recipe.
This recipe is best left overnight to get a great flavor. 6 lemons makes 3pints (1.75litres)
Chill it with loads of ice, it's delicious.
The ratio of lemons to sugar is pretty standard. It makes a perfect, slightly tart lemonade. You can add more sugar afterwards if you're clinically insane.
It can be made with less water to make a cordial, that you dilute when you need it. This is good for fizzy lemonade, just add fizzy water to dilute it. Nice.
You can make instant lemonade by blitzing lemons with sugar & ice in a blender. Still nice, but not as good in my opinion.
Another few things to try...
Add raspberries & grenadine.
Add a few sprigs of mint.
Switch the lemons for oranges (use less sugar!) or limes. Probably nice, I haven't tried it yet.
Pink lemonade with cherry juice, or cranberry juice. There are loads of variations.
For Lemon-Barley water, just add 125g rinsed barley with the lemons and hot water, before straining.
