Description

This juice is a favorite.  I was looking for a way to sweeten lemonade without using more sugar when I came up with the recipe. 

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cup lemon juice - about 8 lemons
  • 1 1/2 cup Orange Juice - about 5 oranges
  • 2 tbsp Grated Lemon Peel
  • 2 tbsp grated orange peel

Instructions

In a large saucepan, combine sugar and water.

Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Cool.


Add juices and peel to cooled sugar syrup. Cover and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.

Strain syrup; cover and refrigerate.


To serve, fill glasses or pitcher with equal amounts of fruit syrup and water. Add ice and serve. Yield: 12 servings.

Notes

Served it with vodka and some club soda.
It was a REAL hit.
