Just imagine: a deck chair, a straw hat, sunshine, and a large glass of homemade lemonade. Sounds great, right? To make this dream moment a reality, we're revealing our world exclusive recipe for homemade lemonade with lemon and ginger .
The answer is yes! And even more so twice than once. In fact, when our master brewers developed the Lemon-Ginger infusion , they immediately thought of a fresh and lively version.
It's true that this duo works wonderfully and has an effect on us both hot and cold. We love the freshness and sharp character of lemon mixed with the warm and bold tones of ginger.
With a little syrup or honey to round it all off and a few ice cubes, you can easily make a homemade lemonade that will rock! The little extra of the lemonade infusion version : it's caffeine-free!
Why is lemonade the star of summer? Because it's a great refresher for hot summer days. Here's proof with our ginger lemonade recipe.
- Infuse 5 or 6 sachets of our Lemon-Ginger recipe in 1.5l of boiling water, then let cool to room temperature
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water with 1 cup of sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar melts to make a syrup.
- Pour our Lemon-Ginger infusion into a pitcher and add the syrup. Stir well.
- After 2 hours in the refrigerator, pour the lemonade into glasses and add ice cubes.
To spice up this lemonade recipe, you can add fresh lemon zest and a few mint leaves for decoration.
Got some leftover homemade lemonade? Pour it into an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator. It should last at least 2 or 3 days.
If you're a groundhog and want to stock up, there's nothing stopping you from freezing your iced tea or lemonade. All you'll have to do is take it out at just the right time!
Just like in cooking or mixology, what makes a recipe successful is first and foremost the quality of the ingredients chosen. By choosing a quality tea or herbal tea to make your recipe, you're already putting the odds in your favor. A big advantage of homemade: you know exactly what you're getting! The quality of the plants and water, the amount of sugar, and organic fruit—you're in control.
As for flavors, make sure you play the freshness and balance card: a green or black tea, a fruit that doesn't lack pep, why not a spice or a fresh herb and you're done.
Avoid mixing too many flavors, otherwise you risk confusing the issue and confusing your taste buds, and remember to stock up on ice cubes before you start.
Finally, the last thing you shouldn't neglect: a little patience! A good iced tea or a fragrant lemonade needs time to reach its peak.
Between the tea and the lemon, it matches like the first day.
It must be said that in terms of taste and benefits, they have gotten used to doing each other a favor. The tangy side of the lemon counterbalances the bitterness of the tea, the zest of the lemon revives the tea, and the vitamin C contained in the lemon even helps to better assimilate the antioxidants found in tea.
Combining them hot or iced is a guaranteed success! Finally, know that lemon goes just as well with black tea as with green tea , so there's no jealousy. This is what prompted our master infusers to bring all three together in a recipe for lemon tea that's a real eye-catcher. Between the full-bodied notes of black tea, the delicacy of green tea and the freshness of lemon, the alchemy is perfect!
To make your iced tea or homemade lemonades truly unique, never hesitate to add a few mint or basil leaves, sprigs of tea or rosemary.
These fresh herbs will not only add flavor to your recipe, but they will also make it look even better.
You can slip them into a glass or carafe, and why not even make some original ice cubes by slipping a few leaves into them. It also works with small fruits, like raspberries or blueberries: guaranteed effect!
If iced tea and homemade lemonades are undoubtedly the stars of summer, it's because they are delicious, refreshing, and healthy.
