Cloudy Lemonade

Following on from yesterday's Limoncello recipe, I wanted to share a really easy cloudy still lemonade recipe I found on the BBC websiteThis lemonade is bitter and very sweet at the same time and it tastes lovely - plus, it only takes about 10 minutes! 

Ingredients
3 lemons
140g caster sugar
1l cold water

Using 3 of the left over lemons, remove the rest of the pith and roughly chop up the lemon flesh from inside. Pop this into a food mixer and blend the lemons till they are very finely chopped. 

Add 500ml of the water and all of the sugar to the mixer and whizz them together. 

Using a sieve and a bowl, push the lemon mixture through the sieve to leave behind a juice with no bits. Add the remaining 500ml of water and, using a funnel, pour into a sterilised bottle. Pop this in the fridge for at least a few hours as this drink is best served ice cold. 

Ideas to try with this recipe include adding vodka and making lemonade ice-cubes in the summer. Any others I could try?
