More on Lemons

I'm not sure why I'm so into lemons at the moment but they keep showing up in my life! Today, I came across a cookbook called 'Easy Cooking for one or two' in Oxfam and picked it up because it had some interesting recipes.

So here are some of the lemon recipes!

Lemonade

makes 1 pt

1 lemon
1 1/2 rounded teaspoons of caster sugar
1/2 pt of cold water

Method

1. Wash the lemon and thinly peel just the outer yellow part of the rind.

2. Put the rind in a glass jug.

3. Squeeze the lemon and add it to the rind in the jug.

4. Stir in the sugar and water.

5. Leave it overnight, covered, in the refrigerator.

6. The next day, stir it again and make up to about a pint with cold water but taste as you add so that you don't dilute it to much and loose the tangy flavor.

More to come!
