I want to share a recipe for a tonic homemade lemonade with a balanced taste and aroma of herbs and citrus. Such a drink is simply irreplaceable in the summer heat and will be 100% to the taste of your household. And it's easier to make a drink than you think.
Ingredients
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Pour drinking water into a saucepan, add sugar and dried orange zest, bring to a boil over low heat, stirring. When the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the syrup from the heat and strain through a fine sieve.
Wash tarragon and mint, lightly dry, chop with a blender or chop with a knife. Add the juice of half a lime to the herbs, pour in the sugar syrup and let it brew for 1 hour. Then strain the syrup through a fine sieve to get rid of the herbs (they have already given away their taste and aroma).
Squeeze the juice out of the oranges and lemons, add to the strained syrup.
Pour in carbonated water. This step can be skipped if lemonade is being prepared for children.
Place lemon and orange slices, mint and tarragon sprigs on the bottom of a glass jug, if desired, sprinkle with cane sugar. Pour the prepared lemonade and let the drink brew for 1-2 hours. Serve chilled.
