It is hot outside, so we are making a nice, refreshing lemonade for our little monsters. With oranges and lemons, they also get plenty of vitamins at the same time. However, you do need to make sure the fruit is organic. The peels are also used in this recipe, as those release the most intense citrus flavour.
So do mind!
Here is how to make orange-lemon lemonade

Here is how to make orange-lemon lemonade
Peel the oranges and lemons using a peeler.
Place the peels in a bowl and add the sugar.
Using a big bowl toss, in a smaller bowl stir in the sugar.
Cover the bowl and set it aside, at room temperature.
Leave the bowl covered like this for about three hours, so that the peels can release their intense flavor into the sugar.
Meanwhile you squeeze out all the fruit.*
After three hours you fetch the peels.
Add 500ml water and the peels to a pan.
*Pour the squeezed out fruit juice in a jug and put the jug in the refrigerator
Bring the water to a boil, let the peels steep for 5 minutes and pour the liquid through a sieve

Firmly press out the peels that stay behind in the sieve.
Now you have made a nice and smooth syrup.
Pour the syrup into the jug with the juice and stir until combined.
Place the jug back in the refrigerator and leave overnight.
Add ice cubes to the glasses and cute straws.
Enjoy your lemonade outside, in the sunshine or under a parasol.
Happy Summer!
