Homemade Lemonade, aka Citron Pressé or Spremuta di Limone is a great quick cooling drink in the height of summer. Depending on whether you have a sweet tooth or not, you may not need any sugar.
Ideally this is make with sugar syrup (a cooled water and sugar solution), but this assumes you want sugar. With one Type 1 diabetic and now a pre diabetic in our family of five, we don't. Just stir well if you do add sugar.
Makes 500ml
Juice of 1 lemon
500ml chilled still or sparkling water
Caster sugar to taste
Quite simply, juice half the lemon and add half the water.
Taste it to see if you want sugar, and if so, how much. Stir well to dissolve the sugar as best you can.
Add the other half of the lemon juice and water with the same amount of sugar (if any) that you added to the first half.
Oranges or limes can be used instead of lemon.
