A very cheap recipe with few ingredients! This homemade and delicious lemonade is very refreshing in summer! Be sure to try!
For 2 years I have abstained from drinks like cola, iced tea, Fanta and Co, because they contain far too much sugar. I do not buy it anymore and got used to it pretty well. Alternatively I make this juice / lemonade.
ingredients
- 1 orange
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon of citric acid
- about 3 L of water (I take tap water)
- 0.5 - 1 glass of sugar (according to taste)
preparation
- One day before I make the juice, I put the orange and lemon in the freezer. This prevents the bitter taste of the lemon peel and the orange peel.
- The next day, when I start making the lemonade, I take it out of the freezer. I wait about 10-15 minutes after taking it out of the freezer and cut the orange and lemon into 4 parts.
- I then give it to the robot (including the bowls). Then I give the sugar over it and run the robot = hand blender with crusher attachment run 1-2 minutes and crush them.
- This mixture (sugar-orange-lemon) I fill in a container with wide opening and add about 3 liters of water, then I add the citric acid and wait about 5 minutes until it gets a nice yellow color. With a long wooden spoon I stir then, so that the citric acid and sugar completely dissolve.
- Then you should take a clean cloth and put it on a second empty vessel - also with wide opening - on it, and carefully fill the prepared mixture through this cloth in the vessel / filter. Put on gloves and press firmly on the clean cloth until all the color of orange / lemon mixture is expressed in the jar.
- The lemonade I store in the fridge. She is delicious and refreshing.
Bon appetit (for the finished result see photo).
Another tip from me:
Place oranges purchased in winter in the freezer to make fresh sodas in summer.
