Tunisian lemonade : Tunisian drink.

Ingredients

250 g lemon juice
80 g sugar
1000 ml water
5 ml food-grade orange blossom or rose water

Preparation

Squeeze washed lemons to obtain the stated juice weight. Remove seeds and keep some pulp if desired.

Take 150 ml from the stated litre of water and dissolve the sugar over low heat for a few minutes without caramelising.

Let cool for about 15 minutes before proceeding; do not add a piping-hot filling to eggs or delicate pastry.

Combine lemon juice in a bowl. Mix until evenly combined without unnecessarily crushing the pieces.

Add water and mix carefully to distribute the ingredients and seasoning.

Add food-grade orange blossom or rose water and mix carefully to distribute the ingredients and seasoning.

Cool promptly in suitable containers, then refrigerate for at least 60 minutes before serving.

Taste and serve chilled, without leaving at room temperature for long. Stir gently just before serving if liquid has separated.
