Fermented Lemonade
Lacto-Fermented Lemonade
My husband brought home some lemons from a co-worker this past week that were the biggest lemons I have ever seen in my life! Some of them looked like they were maybe meyer lemons that had been crossed with oranges, as they were so large with very smooth skins and an orange tint to the inside.
I got 8 cups of lemon juice from these lemons! So, I put up 2 gallons
of my lemonade. I will give you the measurements for one gallon of
lemonade.
*2 cups of lemon juice
*1 cup of sucanat
*1 cup of whey
*1 gallon, minus 3 cups, of filtered water
Simply pour all the ingredients in the the gallon jar, giving the water a
good stir to help dissolve the sugar (some of it will end up on the
bottom, but that is OK).
Place the lid on the jar and set in a dark place for two days. You will
be surprised to taste how carbonated this drink has become. It's just
like soda!
Now, this is not a sweet drink, so if you want it a little sweeter, you
will need to add some raw honey or extra sucanat. I also recommend not
drinking this on an empty stomach and starting out with half a cup with a
meal, as it is a pretty powerful drink. It can be placed in the fridge
after two days. Because this beverage is going to naturally produce
some alcohol, I would avoid drinking this while pregnant.
My lemon juice - can you see how orange it is? That is why I think these lemons must have crossed with some oranges!
