The Easy Homemade Lemonade Recipe.
The beautiful days are finally here!
And with the sun, my cravings for fresh lemonade come back to me.
It’s my favorite drink as soon as the temperatures start to rise!
This year my son asked me if we could make our own natural lemonade.
So, we tried this easy homemade lemonade recipe together.
The hardest part was finding a stoneware pot. My mom lent us one, but you can find one here.
Discover our recipe: it is excellent and above all very easy to make.
Ingredients
- 4 liters of water
- 500 g of sugar
- 1 or 2 organic lemons
- ½ handful of raw rice
- 1 stoneware pot
- Ginger or elderberry or raspberry liqueur
How to do
1. Empty the 4 liters of water into the stoneware pot.
2. Add the sugar.
3. Wash the lemons.
4. Cut them into slices.
5. Put them in the pot.
6. Add the rice.
7. If you want to flavor your lemonade, add a piece of peeled ginger, a handful of elderberry, or 1 tablespoon of raspberry liqueur.
8. Close or cover the jar.
9. Leave to macerate for 3 days. The longer the maceration, the more sparkling your lemonade will be.
10. Stir every day with a spoon.
11. Filter the mixture.
12. Transfer it to bottles.
13. Close those bottles.
14. Put them in the fridge.
15. Wait 3 or 4 days before tasting!
Results
And there you have it, you made your own homemade lemonade :-)
Simple isn't it? And delicious, you won't be able to settle for industrial lemonade anymore!
Additional advice
If you like the strong taste of lemon, add two. Otherwise one will suffice.
Here we appreciate the natural lemonade. But if you want to flavor your lemonade, just add the ingredients (fruit, liqueur, ginger ...) during maceration.
Good to know
The longer you macerate, the more sparkling your lemonade will be.
It is the fermentation of the rice in the stoneware pot that gives the lemonade its sparkling side.
