Time 30m

Yield 1 quart of Lemonade, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 lemons
1/2 cup fresh lemon balm leaves
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup boiling water
2 1/2 cups water
ice (optional)
2 -3 fresh sprigs lemon balm, to decorate

Steps:

  • Scrub the lemons well. Peel the rind thinly, avoiding the white pithe, and set aside the lemons.

OLD FASHIONED LEMON BALM AND LEMON VERBENA LEMONADE SYRUP



Old Fashioned Lemon Balm and Lemon Verbena Lemonade Syrup image

There are numerous recipes for lemon balm lemonade, and I have an old English recipe myself that I make regularly - but, if you find that it is sometimes a little "light" on the lemon flavour, add some lemon verbena for a super charged lemon kick! I have made this several times now and it is so refreshing and zingy, perfect for a hot summer's day. Once the syrup is made, it lasts for several weeks in the fridge, or several months in a cool dark place if you add the optional citric and tartaric acid. Serve with cold sparkling water and slices of lemon and a sprig of either lemon balm or lemon verbena.

Time P2DT5m

Yield 2 Litres

Number Of Ingredients 6

450 g caster sugar
600 ml water
1 lemon, cut into two halves
10 large lemon verbena leaves
10 large lemon balm leaves
1/4 teaspoon tartaric or 1/4 teaspoon citric acid

Steps:

  • Place the sugar, lemon halves and water into a saucepan and heat until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Add the lemon verbena and lemon balm leaves and boil for 2 minutes; leave to cool. Add the citric or tartaric acid if using at this stage. Allow to cool and then cover and allow to infuse for 24 to 48 hours, depending on what strength you require. (I have left this for 3 days sometimes too, for a real lemon zing.).
  • Sieve through a fine mesh or colander, discarding the lemon halves and the herb leaves - then pour into clean and sterile bottle/s; seal tightly and store in a cool dark place for several months or in the fridge for several weeks.
  • To use: 1 part syrup to 4 parts water or sparkling water, to taste - add more for a stronger lemon flavour or less for a more delicate flavour. Add ice, a slice of lemon and some lemon balm or lemon verbena leaves as a garnish.

LEMON VERBANA OR LEMON BALM PESTO



Lemon Verbana or Lemon Balm Pesto image

Light and lemony, this pesto makes a perfect pasta sauce in the spring. Serve on high-protein rotini to create a main dish. Also excellent as a sandwich spread or on crackers as an appetizer. Lemon verbana or lemon balm pesto is more delicate than traditional basil pesto, but makes a lovely seasonal treat. Lemon balm is a perennial herb that is very easy to grow and lovely enough for the front garden. It's an excellent example of an ornamental plant that requires very little care, yet can provide you with free food for years after you plant it. Take cuttings freely; like most herbs, the balm will produce fresh new leaves when pinched back. Let it seed in in the fall, then the next spring pull any unwanted new plants to make a big batch of lemon-balm pesto. Freeze what you don't use within two or three days.

PERFECT LEMONADE (REAL LEMONS AND SUGAR)



Perfect Lemonade (Real Lemons and Sugar) image

Found this recipe on "simply recipes". I wanted to make lemonade from scratch, real freshly squeezed lemons and simple syrup and I came across this recipe. Made this for my 6 year old and friends' lemonade stand sales, my pitcher never came home. Turns out my friend who helped the kids with the stand, liked my lemonade better than the powdered stuff, kept my lemonade for herself! Please do adjust to taste, I think the lemons I had were more tart so I added more simple syrup.
