Whenever you come back home from the scorching heat of the summer, you must hydrate your body with a cool beverage. And what’s better than a glass of homemade lemon squash that can be made within a few minutes?
4-5 large lemons 1 cup sugar 4 cups water Ice cubes Mint leaves for garnish
Start by rinsing the lemons, cutting them into equal halves, and taking out lemon juice with a lemon squeezer. Get about 1.5 cups of lemon juice for the squash.
Heat some water and mix in sugar till it dissolves. Add lemon zest for a better flavour and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Let the syrup cool down, and then strain out the lemon zest.
Take a jug and mix the strained syrup, lemon juice and 3 cups of water. Refrigerate it for a few hours.
Before serving, add ice cubes and mint, and your squash will be ready.
