When I lived in Paris, many years ago, I learned how to make real lemonade – fast and easy. The French call this citron pressé and it is served in every café.
1. Juice up (roll around on the counter) one lemon. Cut in half.
2. Place 2 teaspoons of sugar (or sweetener) in a tall glass. Squeeze in the juice of both lemon halves. Fill with ice. Add water to the top and stir.
Israelis add a handful of mint to this concoction. That’s good too.
Now, pull up a lounge chair on the patio. Get a good book. Get comfortable. Drink up!
Hint: Pour lemonade into a plastic bottle, leaving room at the top. Freeze. Take it with you for a cold drink that will last for hours on hot summer days.
