Method
- Tip the lemons, sugar and half the water into a food processor and blend until the lemon is finely chopped.
- Pour the mixture into a sieve over a bowl, then press through as much juice as you can. Top up with the remaining water and serve with plain ice or frozen with slices of lemon and lime.

Absolutely handsome! I'll use about a quarter less sugar next time though, but really easy and lovely. In fact, stop reading this review - go and make it, you'd be half way there by now. But since you're still reading I'll tell you this; I had 4 lemons which I had grated for their zest to use in a cheesecake (also to be found on this site), I used these for the lemonade. So, it's official, this lemonade is still great, even without the zest.
Very very easy to make and is an instant hit every time it is served. It also stores well in the fridge for a week. I whizzed all ingredients and sieved it but did not add the remaining half ltr of water. Took the bottle to a picnic, added the rest of the water and a nice refreshing drink was ready!
