Classic Lemonade (NO COOKING OR HEATING)

Lemons, sugar and water. A very simple lemonade recipe, and yet so refreshing.

6 cups cold water
1 cup sugar

PREPARATION:
Juice your lemons, and you should get about 1 cup of juice. In a large pitcher, mix juice, water and sugar. Stir lemonade well and serve over ice.

**To make pink lemonade, insert a few drops of grenadine.

Lemon Granita Recipe


6 lemons
4 cups water
Sugar, to taste
3 sprigs thyme
2 tablespoons limoncello

Clean and wash the lemons.

Cut off the top 1/4 of the lemons and shave a small slice off the bottom so it stands easily. Using a grapefruit knife, cut out the flesh of the lemon and place in a strainer set over a bowl. Be careful not to cut through the bottom.

Stand the lemons on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer and freeze until solid.

Press the flesh of the lemons through the strainer to extract all of the juice. You should end up with about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of lemon juice. Add the water to the lemon juice. Stir in sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is of desired sweetness. Add the thyme and limoncello and let sit for 15 minutes.

Strain the mixture into a roasting pan or baking dish. The dish should be large enough so the liquid is not more than 1-inch deep. Freeze the mixture for 1 hour.

Remove from the freezer and scrape with 2 forks to break up ice. Return to the freezer and freeze until solid, about 2 to 3 hours, scraping with forks every hour or so.

When the granite is frozen, scoop it into the frozen lemon shells and serve immediately.

Limoncello Recipe

10 lemons
1(750-ml) bottle of vodka (3.17cups)(3 cups, 2 TBSP.,2.07tsp)
3 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith.

Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.

Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer.

Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.

copy cat of Smoothie King Lemon Twist


This is a copycat recipe of Smoothie King's Lemon Twist smoothie with strawberries. I haven't tried SK's banana lemon twist, but I assume that half a banana substituted for the strawberries would be about right.


5 min 5 min prep
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup papaya nectar or papayas, chunks
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups ice
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4-1/2 cup frozen strawberries

1.Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until slushy.
2.Serve and enjoy!
I used fresh mango instead of papaya.

This isn't lemonade, but thought you might want the other granita recipe

Orange Granita

6 oranges
4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
Sugar, to taste
3 sprigs basil
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)

Clean and wash the oranges. Cut off the top 1/4 of the oranges and shave a small slice off the bottom so it stands easily.

Using a grapefruit knife, cut out the flesh of the oranges and place in a strainer set over a bowl. Be careful not to cut through the bottom. Stand the oranges on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer and freeze until solid.

Press the flesh of the oranges through the strainer to extract all of the juice. You should end up with about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups of orange juice. Add the extra 4 cups orange juice. Stir in sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is of desired sweetness. Add the basil and orange-flavored liqueur and let sit for 15 minutes.

Strain the mixture into a roasting pan or baking dish. The dish should be large enough so the liquid is not more than 1-inch deep. Freeze the mixture for 1 hour. Remove from the freezer and scrape with 2 forks to break up ice. Return to the freezer and freeze until solid, about 2 to 3 hours, scraping with forks every hour or so.

When the granita is frozen, scoop it into the orange shells and serve immediately.

Answer 2

Hi !!!

I have three lemonades that I love to make...

BLUEBERRY LEMONADE

Makes 2 generous quarts

1 cup sugar
6 cups water
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 pint fresh blueberries, rinsed
1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 large lemons)
Ice
Springs of fresh mint (for garnish)

Mix the sugar, water, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Warm over medium0high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into a large glass pitcher. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Meanwhile, make sure all the stems have been picked off the blueberries. Combine the berries with the lemon juice in a blender and puree. Add to the pitcher and stir well to blend. Skim the excess blueberry skins off the top, or pour the lemonade through a sieve to remove all the skins if desired. (The lemonade can be fully prepared and refrigerated the day before serving.)
Pour Blueberry Lemonade over tall, ice-filled glasses, garnish each one with a sprig of mint, and serve.

More ideas:
Serve as an exceptionally refreshing mixer for vodka or gin
Freeze in ice-cube trays to ornament tall glasses of classic lemonade
Add more whole blueberries and freeze as Popsicles

----------AND...

Honey-Vanilla Lemonade

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 cups water, plus more as needed
1 vanilla bean
2 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 24 lemons)
Lemon wheels or wedges, for garnish

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, and 2 cups water and place over medium-high heat. Cut the vanilla bean in 1/2 lengthwise, then, using the back of the knife, scrape the vanilla seeds from the pod and add to the saucepan, along with the pod. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 4 or 5 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Put the lemon juice into a gallon jug or pitcher. Pour the sugar syrup through a strainer into the pitcher and discard the pod. Add water to equal 1 gallon and stir well.

Serve over ice with lemon wheels or wedges.

--------AND, LASTLY...

Watermelon Lemonade

Makes about 1 1/2 quarts

8 cups seeded watermelon cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup hulled and quartered fresh strawberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
2 cups water (approximately)
Thin watermelon wedges with the rind (optional)

In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse the watermelon, strawberries, and sugar until blended and smooth.

Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a 2-quart container, pushing down on the solids to get all the juice. Add the lemon juice and enough of the water to make 1 1/2 quarts.

Chill until very cold. Serve over ice with a wedge of watermelon, if desired.
