Home-made Lemonade Syrup

Home-made Lemonade Syrup

In my family, we all are more fond of juice than tea or coffee. Juice, we prefer homemade or fresh juices. So my Mom always make syrup and keep it in fridge. She makes syrup using home- grown lemon, lovelolika (something like cranberry) , passion fruit etc... when they are in plenty.  While I am at home in India, I loved to make lemonade Syrup. There is some beauty reason behind it. After taking juice from 10-20 lemons my hands becomes soft. Health wise , it is all natural with no preservatives. After the initial work, it is all easy. We just have to add water or soda to the syrup.  Here goes the recipe....

Ingredients: 

Lime or Lemon juice - 1 cup
Ginger (Crushed) - 150 gm
Sugar - 1 1/2 kg
Water - 3 cup

Method:

In a sauce pan, add water, crushed ginger, sugar. Keep it on low-medium heat, till the sugar melts. Cool and strain. Add the lime juice. Refrigerate.
