Supplies

Ingredients

Lemon — 4 pcs
Sugar — 250 g
Mint — 1 branch
Basil — 1 branch
Water (to taste)

Step 1:

Wash the lemons. In a small bowl, grate the zest of all the lemons, add half of the sugar listed in the ingredients and mix well.

Step 2:

Peel the lemons, remove the white inner layer (albedo) and the seeds. Cut the lemons into large slices.

Step 3:

Place the lemons in a blender, add the remaining sugar and blend until smooth. Add the zest and sugar, and blend again.

Step 4:

Pour the resulting mixture into a container and place in the freezer for 4-6 hours. Once frozen, it makes the perfect base for lemonade. Simply place 1-1.5 tablespoons of the base in a glass, add crushed mint or basil, water (preferably sparkling) and stir. Decorate with a slice of lemon and a mint or basil leaf.

Store the rest in the freezer. Enjoy!
