Homemade Turkish lemonade

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare food. Plain water, it’s good to take filtered or melted water. No need to boil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour sugar into a wide container, add heated water, stir and let the sugar dissolve completely.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash lemons and orange well with hot water and dry. Remove the zest from the citrus fruits without touching the white layer and squeeze out the juice.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the zest from two lemons and an orange to the water with sugar, as well as all the resulting juice. It’s not scary if pulp or seeds get in. Mix everything well and let the water cool.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the future lemonade into a jug of a suitable size, close the lid and put it in the refrigerator to steep overnight or at least until the liquid cools well, this is at least two hours.

6. STEP 6

   

   Before serving, filter the lemonade through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. It is good to serve the drink in tall glasses with a straw so that the acid does not destroy the enamel of the teeth; you can add ice if desired. Lemonade is wonderfully refreshing, especially in the heat!

As you can see from my photo, something went wrong... The lemonade turned out to be too sweet, and the color was very different from the color of the BLUE-EYED lemonade. I started to figure it out. But it turned out that I mixed up the number of lemons and oranges. This is a failure. 2 large oranges for 1 small lemon... I really liked the idea of ​​lemonade, it’s easy to prepare, and the ingredients are very simple. I think if I had kept all the proportions as indicated in the ingredients, the lemonade would have turned out great: moderately sweet and thirst-quenching. I still don’t understand how I mixed it up... BLUE-EYED, despite my mistake, still thank you very much for the recipe! It's a pleasure to cook according to your recipes!
