Paul's Lemonade

Sounds refreshing Bathgate.

I think you would enjoy this Scotkat - anytime!

Thanks for this Paul . . . I do have Mint growing just by the kitchen door, so will try this when I've bought the lemons. Good timing, as we're apparently about to have some hot weather!

I have the pot of mint but no lemons but will make once back our trip.
Thankyou

Enjoy it Sheila. I think you will. We are sweltering here in NY Sheila. I can hear thunder, but no rain! Very strange. I would love a 'cloud burst' about now. Hope it's not as bad for you. Good day for the beach!

You're welcome Scotkat. Stay cool very important.

Going to give it a go today. We are forecast for up to 32 degrees this weekend so it should go down well. Thanks for the recipe.

You're welcome. Enjoy!

Thanks for this Paul , I have mint I make a lemon drink similar but had never 'Nuked ' the lemons Lol .. I will next time :o)

Looks great .....sounds like we may need it soon too

I nominated it for Goypedia recipe section, not sure if anyone deals with it these days, such a wealth of information there....including Shirley tulips ledgendary plum cake....I make it every year

You're welcome Amy. Yes, nuking will yield much more juice, make sure to slam it around real good first. :)

Thanks Pamg. I must check out the plum cake. Right now it's around 100f here in New York, something to look forward to. Go get those lemons while you can.

Thanks Paul . . . hot here too (well, 28 degrees, which is a but much for me). Looking forward to a swim tomorrow - so great to at least have a pool nearby. Just sitting around in the shade in the garden . . .

Shirley's fruit cake is SO easy - many of us make it regularly!

This looks like a quick and very thirst-quenching drink Paul! I make a lime and lemonade using a recipe that I've adapted from our famous Delia Smith! ;o)

That sounds good too Tracey - with limes. Yes it's very thirst quenching. Fresh lemons also cleanse the liver & kidneys.

Yes a very healthy drink...! I'm sure you could adapt your recipe to include Limes too. It makes it really sharp and tangy! With Delia's recipe you leave everything soaking overnight, and then strain it in the morning, before bottling up. ;o) I like it if some of the juicy bits goes into the drink, it gives it a real homemade look! :o)

I love those little bits - the pulp.

I dong know what 'nuke' means, thought it meant
nuclear warhead !

LOL Diane I meant to put the lemon in the microwave for 15 seconds. It yields much more juice that way.

Horah, I learned something new today !

Just sipping some of this as I type........it's delicious, thank you.

Thanks, me too Bluesky! I'm having it with a slice of pizza. Let's make a toast across the Atlantic. Good times, Cheers!

Cheers! :-)

Isn't that fun, love the presentation. Are sure you shouldn't be a professional photographer? I do that with lemons and limes...makes all the difference. Also like the vivid description of the syrup. Thanks

Thanks Wells, I've realized they syrup gives a much smoother texture then raw sugar, and won't settle to the bottom. So many variations on this. I've done lemon/limeade, lemon/orange, all limeade - all pretty tastey. Also the many health benefits of fresh lime or lemon is a big plus.
