Life gave me lemons at a very reasonable price.
One went into a Lemon Drizzle Cake, but you've already seen me do one of those.
The other five got made into Lemonade.
Fun Find - I came across a recipe for Lemonade which was literally "Roughly chop five whole lemons, blend them with a cup of sugar and 1L water and strain". Yes, even the seeds and the white part of the lemon (called 'Albedo') ...I'm not saying some people shouldn't be allowed to cook, BUT THIS LADY...
Recipe (makes 1.5L rough)
5 Lemons, Grated and Juiced
1/2 Cup White Granulated Sugar
6 Cups Cold Water
1. In a large saucepan (at least 2L capacity) combine the Sugar, Lemon Zest and one cup of Water. Bring it to a low simmer, whisking gently until the Sugar has dissolved.
2. Once the liquid is starting to bubble, keep it on a low heat and simmer for ten minutes, stirring every now and again. Then add the Lemon Juice, bring it back up to a simmer for another five minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining cups of cold water until you reach 1.5L. Cover the pan and let the Lemonade cool and the Zest infuse before straining and decanting into fresh containers.
4 / Optional. I took the extra step of keeping the Zest in and letting the Lemonade infuse in the bottles for an extra couple of days before straining.
