This grapefruit-infused lemonade is a refreshing beverage and a pretty picnic drink.
Ingredients
10.5 OZ / 300 G sugar
5 EA lemons
3 EA pink grapefruit
21 OZ / 600 ML water
Directions
Carefully remove the peel from the lemon and grapefruit with a knife or peeler, reserving some of the peel for garnish. Quarter the peeled lemons and grapefruit then remove most of the seeds. Add them to the mixing bowl and with the measuring cup inserted, blend the fruit for 45 seconds / speed 10. Remove from the mixing bowl and reserve for later. Clean out the mixing bowl.
Add your sugar and water to the mixing bowl. With the measuring cup inserted, cook your syrup for 10 minutes / 250°F|120°C / speed 3 / stir. Once cooked, allow your syrup to cool down in the mixing bowl for 10 minutes.
TIP: Add your mixing bowl into an ice bath to cool down faster.
Add your processed fruit back to the mixing bowl. Mix for 1 minute / speed 3 / stir. By mixing the lemonade again, it will give a shiny finish to your drink.
Once done, pass your lemonade through a sieve and fill it. Serve into glasses with some more ice and some peel.
Enjoy!
Recipe Note
TIPS:
To remove all the bitterness from the lemonade, you might want to peel the skin off the fruit.
If the syrup is too strong for your taste, add some extra water to the glass.
You can also skip sieving the mix for a more textured finish.
