Lemons are special, the smell, the sour taste and the colour. This lockdown as got me doing alot of things. Although, I did not take pictures which I am gald I didn't.

I made veggie pie - that's like meat pie but no meat. It is vegetarian friendly. I also made samosa and homemade cookies.

This post is about lemonade.

They say when life gives you lemons you make lemonade.

I don't know who said it but thr lemoms form the garden were rip then I thought to myself

Why don't I make lemonade.

So i moved into the garden to get some lemons form the tree.

Step 5

Put some sugar into a cup or bowl as preferred. Then pour some lemon into the cup. The more the lemon ,the more water required to dillute the mixture as lemons are very concentrated. A little amount of lemon juice can make up to 8 servings of lemondae juice but more sugar will be required.
Taste the mixture to be sure of the taste you prefer.

p.s - hot water is more preferred to mix the lemon and sugar as it helps the sugar to dissolve

Step 6

Add mater to the mixture. Taste as you mix to get the desired result. Add ice or let it chill in the fridge.

p.s - sieve the mixture to remove any particles like sugar to have a smooth lemonade drink.

Step 7

Serve your lemonade and enjoy it like I did. I had my lemonade with pancake and honey.
