There’s no drink more appropriate on a warm sunny day than a tall glass of lemonade, especially when citrus fruits are coming back into season and are cheap and easy to find at your local grocery stores. While store-bought lemonade is often full of artificial flavouring and high fructose corn syrup, fresh, homemade lemonade is a great treat that is loved by kids and adults alike. This recipe combines the great taste of fresh lemonade with a healthy dose of probiotics.
Lacto-Fermented Lemonade Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 organic lemons
- 1/2 cup to 1 cup organic evaporated cane sugar
- 1 cup fresh whey (see recipe instructions below)
- enough water to fill a gallon-size glass jar
Instructions
First, get some whole milk, organic, live cultured yogurt and use fresh, clean cheesecloth to strain the whey out of the yogurt.
You can do this by first draping cheesecloth of the sides of a bowl and then adding the yogurt onto the cheesecloth – then gathering the edges of the cheesecloth together to form a bundle with the yogurt inside.
Tie the bundle closed with a rubber band and suspend it above the bowl for a few minutes – that should be enough time to strain a cup of fresh whey.
