Lemonade


Nothing refreshes you in summer than a freshly prepared lemon juice. And its even more fun to make a freshly prepared home made  "Lemonade". You can prepare Lemonade with readily available ingredients at home.

Ingredients (to serve per glass):
Lemon - 1
Sugar - 2 tsp (as per taste)
Salt - 2 pinch
Plain Club Soda - 1 glass


You can choose to use market available club soda or you can make the soda if you have a soda-maker at home. In this case we got a Mr. Butler's Soda Maker at home. So we choose to make fresh soda, and then prepare Lemonade with it. You can read the Soda maker's Manufacturer user-guide instructions, may vary depending on the brand and the model you have.

Fill the soda maker provided plastic bottle with chilled water. Or else you can fill it with plain water and refrigerate the same.


Grab the ingredients as shown. You may need one extra Lemon to garnish.

Squeeze the Lemon juice in a glass, add sugar and salt. Stir the contents till the sugar gets dissolved and turns into a syrup as shown.

Tip: If you want to make Salt Lemonade you can replace Sugar with Salt. In that case just add 1/2 tsp of salt and a pinch of Sugar.


Prepare the soda as shown. You need to connect the plastic bottle as shown.

Note: Kindly please refer your own soda-maker instruction guide.

WARNING: Never carbonate  water which contains any juices or fruit concentrates. There are specific market Soda Juice concentrates which are safe to do. You can only use those products which are compatible and safe.

Carbonate the water till it is fully done.

Once the Soda is done, you can pour into the glass and fill it to the top and garnish with a lemon slice as shown. Freshly prepared refreshing home-made Lemonade is ready to be served !

Tip: You can even try substitute Lemon with Fresh Orange juice.

We hope you enjoyed this recipe. Please do post your comments and suggestions.
