Lemonade inspired by Ratty and Mole’s riverside Picnic
- 1.4 liter (6 cups) Water, divided
- 2000g (1 cup) Sugar
- 6 Lemons (approximately 236ml, or 1 cup juice)
- 1 Orange (approximately 900ml, or 1/4 cup juice)
- Zest 2 lemons and the orange
- Combine the zest from the orange and lemons with the sugar, rubbing together with your fingers until fragrant and the sugar has changed color
- Combine sugar/zest mixture with 236ml (1cup) water in a small saucepan. Place over medium–low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside and allow to cool completely
- Squeeze the lemons and the oranges until you have approximately 236ml (1 cup) of lemon juice, and 90ml (1/4 cup) orange juice. More is fine! But you generally don’t want less, or you will want to lower how much water you use
- Combine the lemon and orange juice in a pitcher
- Strain the syrup, if wanted, into the pitcher with the orange and lemon juice
- Add remaining1180ml (5 cups) water and stir well.
- Taste for preference, add more juice or more water depending on prefered strength
- Serve over ice, or chilled for several hours from the fridge.
