Easy Peasy

Home-Made Lemonade For Hot , Lazy, Summer Days

What gorgeous weather we are all having of late and no better way to cool off and relax than to sip a super chilled home-made lemonade.

Great for BBQ's, Kids' parties and the Diamond Jubilee weekend

Follow our easy peasy recipe below for instant success.

You will need:

• 3 unwaxed lemons , roughly chopped
• 140g caster sugar
• 1litre cold water
• Fine slices of lemon and lime to finish

Tip the lemons, sugar and half the water into a food processor and blend until the lemon is finely chopped.
Pour the mixture into a sieve over a bowl, then press through as much juice as you can. Top up with the remaining water and serve with plain ice or frozen with slices of lemon and lime.

Chill and Serve

Why not select from our stylish range of party glasses and cups to complete the mood? Fluorescent pink tumblers or our retro Belle and Boo or Union Jack cups ...... and a vintage straw....

Deliciously cool !!
