Perfect for quenching your thirst on a sunny day, homemade lemonade is perfect for you and your flatmates to enjoy. This recipe is super easy and refreshing! 

Ingredients:

  • 3 unwaxed lemons, washed
  • 60g granulated sugar
  • 500ml of soda or sparkling water, chilled
  • Ice cubes
  • Mint (optional)

If you’re making this to share with flatmates, simply double the quantities above.

  1. Using a grater, remove the zest of the lemons (avoid the pith) and squeeze the juice from the lemons into a  bowl
  2. In a saucepan, add the zest, sugar and half of the soda or sparkling water on a low heat
  3. Bring the syrup to the boil slowly and ensure that you stir regularly to help the sugar dissolve
  4. Once the syrup is at boiling point, add the lemon juice and remove the saucepan from the heat
  5. Once the juice has cooled down, strain it into a jug and allow it to chill before serving
  6. When serving, mix with the remaining soda or sparkling water with ice. Add a sprig of mint or additional lemon slices if you wish!

Enjoy your refreshing, homemade lemonade!
