Four Citrus Lemonade

Citrus Lemonade - Delia Creates (36 of 46)0604Because, sometimes just lemons aren’t enough. 😉Four Citrus Lemonade - Delia CreatesReally, though I just tried out this recipe idea for fun and it turned out yummy! Love it when that happens.

FOUR CITRUS LEMONADE

1. Make a simple syrup:

1 cup sugar + 1 cup water = simple syrup
 
Stir until dissolved and boil/simmer until thickened like I did with THIS recipe.
 
optional: To make a mint infused syrup (which pairs well with the blend of citrus),
 add a bruised sprig of mint to the sugar/water mixture.
 
Let syrup cool.
 

2. Juice:

1 grapefruit
2 large oranges (or 3 small)
7-8 lemons
2 limes
 
+ slice up some of each kind of citrus for garnish
 

3. Mix:

simple syrup + citrus blend of juicies + 5-6 cups of water + garnish slices of citrus =

Truth be told, really, either way is goo-ood.

    I made this today and it was delicious! I sweetened it with some of the simple syrup as well as a bit of maple syrup to add a little something extra. Either way this is a great recipe!
