I never dare to drink lemonade especially when my stomach is empty, but surprisingly it does nothing to my stomach, in fact i felt more appetite after drinking the lemonate. then i remember some of my friends actually recommended lemon + warm water while having gastric. It's actually 5% citric acid but it just works to neutralize the enzyme int he stomach.
So, i started my journey to try everyone lemonade whenever i go. i tried the typical lemonate in intel, the pink lemonate at the Queen's bowl restaurant and i plan to make my own lemonate when i back to Penang later. It must be so refreshing and cooling with the hot weather out there :)
Perfect Lemonade Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup sugar (can reduce to 3/4 cup)
1 cup water (for the simple syrup)
1 cup lemon juice
3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute)
Method
1 Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.
2 While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.
3 Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.
Serve with ice, sliced lemons.
Serves 6.
