If you have adult taste buds you will probably enjoy bitter lemon drinks. We have a lemon tree in our garden and so we decided to experiment with home made lemonade. We just cut the lemons in half, removed the seeds. Then threw the lemons peels, pith and all in the blender with some water and a generous amount of sugar. It is the pith that gives it the bitter taste. You will need to experiment a little to get the taste just right. Keeping in mind that commercial soft drinks contain about 16 teaspoons of sugar in each can. It takes a lot of sugar to make it taste just like the commercial product. At least with home made lemon drinks there are no artificial colours or preservatives and you are in control of how much sugar you add.
Blend on high for a few minutes then pour into a nice jug and refrigerate for a few hours. The sediment will sink to the bottom leaving a tasty delicious and very thrifty drink on top. Serve with ice cubes in a tall glass' It's delicious on a hot summers day and full of vitamins.
