7. Go suck on a lemon!
As an anonymous philosopher once said, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." In
preparation, buy ten large lemons, sugar, and some cheesecloth for straining {to avoid seeds and
pulp}. Here's a lemonade recipe from Del's Lemonade in Charleston. Enjoy! You will be creating
a thirst quenching memory.
ICE COLD FRESH LEMONADE
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 c. fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 qt. ice cubes
- 1 c. sugar
- 1/2 qt. water
- 1 lemon, and 1 orange sliced into rings for garnish
- whole strawberries for garnish
- fresh mint for garnish
- bowl of sugar, for glasses to be dipped in
|
Items needed:
- cheesecloth
- juicer
- straws
- glass drinking glasses, placed in freezer for at least 1 hour
|
Place the cheesecloth over a pitcher. Use a juicer to extract the juice from 8 lemons. Pour juice slowly onto the cheesecloth, allowing the cheesecloth to sag into the pitcher. When the cheesecloth becomes thick with pulp and seeds, move the cheesecloth so that more rapid straining can occur. Add 1/2 quart of ice, preferably chopped ice. Add 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Add 1/2 quart of cold water. Stir vigorously, until sugar is completely dissolved. Store in refrigerator until ready to drink.
Remove glasses from freezer. Dip the rim of each glass into a bowl of sugar. Pour lemonade in glasses 3/4 full, being careful not to touch the sugared rim. Add one or two ice cubes. Place a slice of lemon on the edge of the frosted glass, add orange slices, strawberries and fresh mint for garnish and add a straw.
Serving suggestion: Serve with lemon bars for a taste tingling jolt of citrus, and enjoy!
