- We have a Meyer lemon tree in our backyard, so we've experimented
- with the best porportions for our tastes.
-
- For a single glass ( 8-10 oz.)
- 1 meyer lemon -- squeezed, pulp and juice, seeds optional (it just
- depends on how lazy you are about picking them out.)
- 3 rounded teaspoons of sugar (in this case, teaspoon means a normal
- teaspoon used at a table place setting)
- cold water to fill the glass
- optional: add a bit of the lemon peel (we found this didn't seem to
- affect the flavor much.)
-
- Caveat: (1) A meyer lemon is a bit sweeter than the "normal" kind you can
- buy in the grocery store. I believe there's a bit of sweet
- orange in its family tree somewhere.
- (2) We like tart lemonade. Another friend of ours who also has
- a Meyer lemon tree uses a fair bit more sugar than we do.
-
- For a gallon: (Here memory is failing a bit. The lemons were used up a while
- ago.)
-
- 10 Meyer lemons (juice and pulp only)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- cold water to complete the gallon
-
- Caveat: It seems that leaving the seeds in the lemonade causes the lemonade
- to turn bitter when it is left overnight in the fridge.
-
- Sorry these are English units. A gallon is a bit less than 4 litres.
- I'd have to look up how many grammes of sugar are in a cup. If you
- want me to convert the recipe, let me know.
