Homemade Lemonade: Sweet and Sour Goodness
May 3, 2008 12:30 pm Posted in Body Jess - NYU g+ page
Even though these last couple of days were actually cold (what the hell, nature? Get your sh*t together!), the warm weather is indeed here. And whenever warm weather descends upon my pale, winter-stricken body, I immediately feel like making lemonade.
Why? I’m not sure. Could be because lemonade is synonomous with skipping around barefoot and not caring about anything except avoiding dog poop on the lawn. Could be because I’m obsessed with sweet and sour things. Could be because running a lemonade stand as a kid was the first time I realized the sweet, green beauty of money. Whatever the case, lemonade rocks my world.
Here’s how to make your own version of this fresh, delicious summer drink!
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice
5 cups cold water
Garnish: lemon slices, maraschino cherries
PREPARATION:
Stir together sugar and 1/2 cup boiling water until sugar dissolves.
Stir in lemon rind, lemon juice, and 5 cups cold water. Chill 8 hours. Garnish, if desired.
[Stir in some cold vodka or rum for an extra kick!]
