EASY LEMONADE

This is the easiest recipe to make homemade lemonade. You would need three unwaxed lemons, 1 liter of cold water, and caster sugar. The first step is to wash the lemons and chop them.

Next, put the chopped lemons, half of the water, and the sugar into a food processor or blender and blend until you notice that the lemons are finely chopped. Once done, pour the mixture over a sieve. Add the remaining water and add ice as desired.

PINK LEMONADE

If you’re looking to switch things up and ditch the yellow color of regular lemonade, this is the recipe for you. The ingredients remain the same as a homemade lemonade with the addition of a few items.

You would need punnets raspberries ― which would give the pink color ― orange, fresh mint, ice, and sliced lemon. Put all of the ingredients in a saucepan and add 300ml of cold water. Boil the mixture under medium heat while stirring.
