Two posts in one day! What?! Well, it's rainy and yucky outside. I haven't even been able to open my pool yet. It's criminal! Already four days into June and I can't open my pool! So, I'm on my computer pulling new recipes and watching L play with her toys. The house is a wreck because she is bored. She has pulled out toys from the deepest corners of her toy boxes. This is a child who does not enjoy just sitting and playing video games like other kids. She is always on the go go go... She did mention wanting to try lemonade though. L? Wants to try something new? No way! So I went and bought some lemons. She, of course, cannot just have the lemonade at the store. I have to make it from scratch. But I already learned how to do this long ago. So, this morning we squeezed lemons. She thought that was really cool. She only wanted to juice one though. She didn't want to touch the "dirty seeds." My sensory child... They were slimy from the juice and pulp. But she did sit and watch. It was a good experience for her. So now I will share the experience with you. :)
And guess what... I remembered pictures this time!!!
Lemonade Syrup
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (I squeezed about 6 medium lemons for this this morning)
1/2 cup water
1 cup raw organic sugar
Directions:
In a small/medium saucepan, bring lemon juice and water to a boil. Whisk in sugar. Make sure you are using non reactive cookware. I used a silicon coated whisk. Pour into a jar and let cool. Refrigerate syrup in jar for up to one month.
To make this into lemonade, stir 1 Tablespoon (per 8 oz.) of syrup into a cold glass of water. Adjust to taste of course. I find that two tablespoons of syrup in one of my larger glasses of ice water is perfect.
This is what my jar of syrup looks like:
