After some blog love that mentioned my lemonade making, I thought I’d follow it up with lemonade round 2.
This time I made it while Chris was at work, so it was twice the juicing. And with my pore eczema ridden hands it got to be a little painful towards the end.
Meyer lemons fruit all year round, but they definitely go through cycles. I noticed the fruiting was starting to wind down a few weeks ago, so I thought I’d pick one last batch before it was dormant for a month or two (ONLY a month or two, I know, SUPER lucky).
So I filled up the sink with 2 bucketfulls…
…sliced them up and started juicing
After about 40 minutes of juicing I had a pitcher full of pure lemon juice
I got out some measuring cups and measured out how much juice to a pitcher
Once I got the right measurement per pitcher, I got out some freezer bags and made my own “lemonade from concentrate” mixes
And now that summer has (finally) hit us here in the Bay Area, tasty lemonade couldn’t be more fitting!
