  This was an easy recipe but it needed far more sugar than stated as it was too bitter!!!!

  Fantastic but good idea to do dbl batch. 1 lot for the kids and the other with a splash of rum for the adults. Delicious. Also tried cold with touch of ginger and ginseng.

  I added 6 raspberries at the processing stage to make pink lemonade. I also diluted the finished drink 50:50 with sparkling water. Very refreshing and made it go further, too.

  Lovely. My grandmother used to make this and I haven't made it since she died several years ago. I only had 3 lemons but It still worked fine with a little less sugar. Very easy and delicious!

  A simply lovely refreshing drink. Easy to make and far better for you than those complicated recipes that involve boiling and leaving overnight. Ignore the comment that it's too sweet, it isn't.

  I've just made this for a competition on Saturday- I added quite a bit more sugar, as I found it VERY bitter at first, but very nice and very quick and simple! The only problem I had was that I bottled it in a glass bottle, and all the pulp that went to the top blocked the neck. I advise straining it several times to get rid of it!!
