Ingredients

• 4 unwaxed lemons, roughly chopped, pips removed
• 150 g caster sugar
• 1 l cold water
• 2 handfuls ice cubes
• 4 sprigs Mint (optional)

Method

1. Put the chopped lemons, sugar and half the water in a food processor or blender and pulse until the lemons are finely chopped.
2. Pour through a sieve into a jug, pressing hard on the pulp to squeeze out all the juice. Discard the pulp.
3. Stir in the rest of the water, taste and add a little more sugar if needed.
4. Serve over plenty of ice with mint sprigs and thin lemon slices.

Tips

• Use sparkling water for the second half of the water for a fizzy version.
• Do not over-blend, or the pith makes the lemonade bitter.
