Ingredients
Fruits
- 8 ripe kiwis, mashed
- Juice of 7 lemons
Other Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 8 to 10 cups cold water
Instructions
- Gather the Ingredients: Collect ripe kiwis, fresh lemons, granulated sugar, and cold water. Ensure kiwis are slightly soft to indicate ripeness.
- Prepare the Kiwis: Peel and dice the kiwis into small pieces to facilitate smooth blending, enjoying their bright color and sweet aroma.
- Juice the Lemons: Roll the lemons gently to release their juices, then extract the juice using your preferred method, removing seeds for a clean, tangy flavor.
- Blend the Kiwis: Combine the diced kiwis and sugar in a blender and blend until smooth. This mixture acts as the naturally sweet base for the lemonade.
- Mix the Lemonade: In a large pitcher, combine the kiwi puree, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 8 to 10 cups of cold water. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved, resulting in a slightly cloudy drink with kiwi pulp.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the lemonade until cold. Serve over ice and garnish with a slice of kiwi or lemon for added visual appeal and aroma.
Notes
- Adjust water quantity based on preferred lemonade concentration.
- Use ripe kiwis for best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Strain the blended kiwi mixture if a smoother texture is desired.
- Can be sweetened with honey or agave as an alternative to granulated sugar.
- Store leftover lemonade in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for freshness.
