This is a British cousin of American lemonade. Makes an excellent mixer for gin, vodka, and tequila. Personally, I like it mixed with tonic water or soda water and poured over crushed ice on a hot summer day.
Ingredients:
2 lemons
20 fluid ounces water
1/4 lb sugar
Directions:
1. Cut the lemons into pieces, put in a saucepan with the water and bring to the boil.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, until the fruit is soft.
3. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
4. Remove from the heat, cover and cool.
5. Strain before using.
