Today I made a batch of
Vintage Lemonade, as Chris is going to be assembling our new play set over the next few days in the wilting humidity, so I wanted to have some especially refreshing drink stocked for him (and we're essentially a boring water-only family). I made it once before for guests and it was a hit, so I documented with photos this time in order to share. It took a total of about twenty minutes of work, done in three steps, so it's not as easy as popping open a container of
powdered lemon-flavored chemicals, but it's also not time-consuming; I simply did it among my other kitchen chores.
Juice some lemons into a strainer over a bowl.
Peel the lemons and mix in with some sugar. Let sit at least one hour.
Boil water.
Let lemon peels and sugar steep in hot water for at least 20 minutes.
Pour peel-water into a container through a strainer so peels are withheld; also add the lemon juice. Meanwhile keep the children from climbing on the counter. Add water until lemonade tastes as you prefer (we add at least fifty percent again as much water). Chill. Serve!
