Today we made lemonade; not the lemonade from the supermarket but natural lemonade.
If you want to make it here is the recipe:
- A clean, 1.5 litre plastic bottle, with a screw-on cap
- three lemons
- a cup of sugar
- a little bit of granulated yeast
- a jug for pouring
- a bowl
- Get three lemons and squeeze them in to a bowl.
- Put 1 cup of sugar in the jug and fill it with boiling water up to 2.5cups. Stir it till the sugar has dissolved, then add water until you reach 4 cups.
- Pour the sugar mixture into the bottle then pour the lemon mixture into the bottle.
- Add a quarter of a teaspoon of yeast in your bottle.
- Fill the rest of your bottle with cold water, but remember to leave 5cm at the top.
- The lemonade needs to become fizzy, so leave it in a mild place for about four days.
- Before you open it leave it in the fridge for a few hours.
VOILA!!
YOU HAVE MADE LEMONADE!!
I really enjoyed making this lemonade in the school staffroom. We put all the ingredients in and we left it to become fizzy. I can't wait for Monday to come because we can have some lemonade and I love lemonade!!
We love lemonade, too! I have four kids, 9 is the eldest (girl), 3 is the youngest (also girl) and I have a twin 6-year old boys in between. All four of them have their own favorite lemonade recipe. When I wanted to keep them busy, I let them make their own, even my 3-year old! Of course, they do make a lot of mess, lol! But they know the rules, if they want to use the kitchen they would have to learn to clean after themselves! ;)
