Summer has started and most of us don’t feel like eating anything rather than drinking lots of water and having fruit juices. My mom’s sister makes this lemonade with home made lemon syrup, one for every summer and even my athai also makes this. Suddenly i thought of making this and i asked my mom to pass on the recipe to me from her sister.
INGREDEINTS:
METHOD:
NOTE:
INGREDEINTS:
| LEMON JUICE(SQUEEZED FROM FRESH LIME) | 1 CUP |
| SUGAR | 2 CUPS |
| GINGER | A BIG PIECE |
| WATER | 2 CUPS |
| SALT | A PINCH |
METHOD:
- Peel the skin of the ginger and roughly chop it.
- Put sugar, water and ginger pieces in a vessel and boil till the sugar comes to one string consistency.
- Put off the flame, cover it and allow this to completely cool.
- Discard the ginger. Add a pinch of salt.
- Squeeze out lemon juice from fresh lemons.
- Filter this and add to the sugar syrup.
- This yields approximately 2 and 1/4 cup of syrup.
- Store this in a clean glass bottle.
- While serving add 1/4 portion of lemon syrup to 1 portion of water.
- Add a tblsp of extra syrup if you want more.
- Mint leaves can be added while serving and fresh lemon wedges can also be added while serving.
NOTE:
- Never add the lemon juice when the syrup is hot or warm.
- Do not squeeze out too much of juice from the lemon. This will give a bitter taste to the lemonade.
- This syrup if properly handled will stay good in refrigerator for 30 to 45 days
looks yum..refreshing..

looks too good n nice bottle of the lemon syrup..perfect drink
ReplyDeleteRefreshing and perfect. I was wondering how long can I store it. But I guess if I make it it won't last for over 3 days. I love lemonade with ginger :)
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you. please collect it from my blog. :)
thanks for sharing the award with me. Even the lemonade got over in 3 days at my place, but normally when preserved properly , this will stay for a month
DeleteLove this a lot and I too make sugar syrup but not to string consistency, just to rolling boil that's all. Looks so refreshing and perfect for summer :) Slurp slurp :)
ReplyDeleteEven i feel rolling boil is enough if we make in small quantities. My perimma makes in bulk and store for a month as they have a few lemon trees in their house
DeletePerfect thirst quencher in summer's......very yum....
ReplyDeleteThnks for the lemon syrup recipe,,.will try sometime,,,:) wish ya happy festival,..:)
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteReally i Love this!!!!!!
As i was not well known about the ready made storage of the stuff but now i will make a lot of it and store for at about 7 days.
So when feel to have refreshingly stuff will opt for this.
Thanks for the update.
How many days can I preserv this syrup
ReplyDeleteGeeta you can preserve this for 30 to 45 days in the refrigerator. Updated in the post too
DeleteIf i want to add pudina to it
ReplyDeleteSo how and when i add it
Add mint leaves while adding the ginger pieces. Will give a nice flavour
DeleteHello ma'am, mom used to make this exactly as you have mentioned. But, my hubby avoids sugar. Do u think jaggery would be a good alternative?
