Lime/Lemon Syrup 2, for making Lemonade

Lemon Syrup 2

Reeta Kumar

Drink

Note from Mamta: This recipe is from my younger sister who lives near Delhi. Lemonade is very popular in India, especially during the summer months. If you have the syrup already made, it takes only seconds to make it. It is an easy syrup to make and can be made when lemons are cheap. Also see Nimbu Pani 1.

Ingredients

  • 6-8 lemons

  • 1 litre water

  • 1 kg granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Make zest (grated skin of lemon) from a couple of lemons and keep aside.

  2. Squeeze juice. Keep aside.

  3. Heat sugar, water and zest in a pan, over a low heat. Stir until sugar has dissolved.

  6. Strain through a sieve. Pour into a sterilised bottle.
