Jalapenolemonade Recipes

JALAPENO BERRY LEMONADE

Steps:

• For the jalapeno-berry syrup: Put the blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, sugar, jalapenos and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and then reduce the heat and simmer until thick, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and press on the fruit with a wooden spoon to get all of the liquid out. Set the berry syrup aside to cool.
• For the simple syrup: Mix the sugar with 6 cups water and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
• For the lemonade: Pour the jalapeno-berry syrup and lemon juice into a large vat. Add 6 cups of the simple syrup and 8 cups of cold water and stir to combine. Top up the container with plenty of ice before serving.

JALAPENO LEMONADE

Steps:

• Lemonade is a pretty simple recipe. Lemons, sugar, water and stir. Because of it's simplicity, I suggest you use the best fruit possible: organic for sure, biodynamic if you can find it.
• We'll begin with the simple syrup because it will need to cool. Slice up those 5 jalapeno peppers and add them, seeds and all, to a small sauce pan. Add in 3 cups of sugar and only 2 cups of the water. Warm the mixture over a low heat but once the sugar begins to dissolve, turn it up to medium-high. When it just begins to simmer, remove it from the heat and let it steep for about 5 minutes. Then strain out the jalapenos and let the syrup cool. NOTE: Syrup in this fashion is usually referred to as a rich syrup. The only difference between a rich syrup and a simple syrup is that simple syrup is a 1:1 ratio and rich syrup uses more sugar.
• In a large pitcher, juice the 8 lemons and 8 limes, add in the remaining 3 cups of water and sweeten to taste with the syrup. Serve over ice and garnish with citrus and jalapeno slices.
