Ingredients
- 15whole lemonyou’ll be squeezing the juice
- 450grams caster sugarI know, I know – but it’s the only way to stop your face from gurning
- 4litres sparkling waterbought mine in Lidl for 17p per bottle
- 2mugs boiling water
- 2handfuls of ice
Instructions
- Get a bowl, your serving container (I used a homemade beer brewing barrel, a Kilner jar will do), chopping board and knife. Roll the lemons to soften them up and slice in half to squeeze.
- Squeeze all the lemon juice into a bowl and throw the skins into your serving container. Either catch the pips or scoop em out with a perforated spoon.
- Add to the bowl all of the sugar and stir. Then add all of the boiling water and stir.
- When it’s cool enough, give it a taste, if it makes your face look like a walnut, add some more sugar BUT REMEMBER THIS, you will be diluting it, so it needs to taste really really lemony.
- Using a funnel, add the juice to your serving container and the awaiting lemon skins and let it sit like that until you need it – don’t add the water or ice now, it’ll just go flat.
- When ready to serve, add all the ice and water and stir or even better, shake it, if you can. It’s ready.
- Thank you England
