Limey Lemonade Without a Juicer
Intro: Limey Lemonade Without a Juicer
What's a better drink on a hot day than lemonade! This recipe is an easy one with immediate results. All you need is:
- blender
- colender
- one lemon
- one lime
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 2.5 cups of cold water
STEP 1: Squeeze With Ease
If you are like me and can't find your juicer, then use this easy trick to juice your lemon and lime.
- Peel out the inside of the fruit.
- Put the fruit middle in the blender and puree for about 30 seconds.
STEP 2: Water and Sugar
In your blender:
- Add 2.5 cups of cold filtered water and add 1/4 cup of sugar as well.
- Have the blender mix the ingredients for 30 seconds.
- Let the mixture settle for about 5 minutes before going to the next step.
STEP 3: Separate the Solids From the Liquids
So this set up will depend on what kind of colender you have. But basically you just:
- Put the colender on top of the final juice pitcher like the picture shows.
- Slowly pour the lemonade from the blender into the coldener which will go into the pitcher. Note: If you don't have a colender that rests stably on the lemonade pitcher, then you might want to have a helper hold the contraption in place while you pour.

Now, if you don't have any gadget. And you don't have electrricity, you can even then, do this...
* Cut the lemmon/ lime in half through its 'ecuator'.
* Stick a fork inside the soft part of its center and move it upwards and downwards until all the juice is out.
* Perhaps you would prefer to put a clean cloth over a jar and pass the extracted juice through it to obtain a pure clean liquid.
* The feel free to add the desired sugar and cold water. And stir for some minutes.
* You could add some stripes of the lemon/lime out skin, without the white part of its inner part. That would add some blend to the mixture.
Enjoy!
