Lemonade With Lemon Grass And Dried Lemon Recipes

VINTAGE LEMONADE

Steps:

• Peel the rinds from the 5 lemons and cut them into 1/2 inch slices. Set the lemons aside.
• Place the rinds in a bowl and sprinkle the sugar over them. Let this stand for about one hour, so that the sugar begins to soak up the oils from the lemons.
• Bring water to a boil in a covered saucepan and then pour the hot water over the sugared lemon rinds. Allow this mixture to cool for 20 minutes and then remove the rinds.
• Squeeze the lemons into another bowl. Pour the juice through a strainer into the sugar mixture. Stir well, pour into pitcher and pop it in the fridge! Serve with ice cubes.

LEMONADE WITH LEMON GRASS AND DRIED LEMON

Steps:

• Combine sugar, lemon grass and dried lemon in a saucepan. Add 2 cups water, and bring mixture to a boil. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until dried lemon is tender. Use a spoon to squash lemon against side of pan.
• Turn off heat, and let mixture rest for 10 minutes, then strain it into a pitcher. Add lemon juice and 6 cups cold water. Chill until thoroughly cold, at least 2 hours. Serve over ice.
