HOMEMADE PINK LEMONADE

Inspired by a love of food and decor shopping, stylist Taryne Jakobi decks out her table for the perfect girly brunch

INGREDIENTS

  • 175ml–250ml sugar or some xylitol, to taste
  • 250ml water (for the sugar syrup)
  • 250ml lemon juice or pink grapefruit
  • 750ml–1l cold water

TO SERVE:

  • Ice
  • lemon slices or frozen
  • grapefruit wedges

METHOD

  1. Make a syrup by heating the sugar (or xylitol) and water in a small saucepan and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely. Set aside.
  2. If using grapefruit, use a juicer to extract the juice until you have the required amount.
  3. Pour the juice and the sugar water into a jug. Top up with the cold water to taste. Refrigerate for 30–40 minutes.
  4. Serve with ice, sliced lemons or frozen grapefruit wedges.

COOK’S TIP: If the lemonade is too sweet for your taste, add a little more lemon juice to it.
