Welcome to Cajun Cooking TV
Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
Female: First we want to start out I heated in the microwave about 8 cups I guess. Then a have a half cup of sugar I heated up the water because we want to make a simple sugar. And we use an organic unrefined sugar, if you’re used to drinking sugar with water or cokes and whatever you might want to put more sugar probably a cup if you refer. But we’re going to use this, so we just want this hot water to melt the sugar. Then I have an array of citrus here, it’s basically going to be lemonade but I had a lime in refrigerator we need to use up and we had one orange from margarita night so we need to get this cooked. I mean used up, I had this citrus gadget where we’re going to put the lemon or lime in here and squeeze it through and I also had a traditional method here.
So what I’m doing is I cut the lemon or lime in the quarter stick it face down in there we got a pitcher going here and you just squeeze them and the juice comes out without letting the seeds come out. Let me do a lemon, here it goes, all right that’s really good. Now I will show you also on this other citrus gadget. We’ll do the orange on this one you cut the oranges and lemon in half and then we’re going to place it on here and push it down and turn and this makes that all the juice come out. Just apply some pressure.
Male: You could just use that for your lemons and everything if you don’t have that other gadget.
Female: Right, now, one thing I will tell you about oranges there’s a place where I go for business in Saint Petersburg, Florida and they at the hotel restaurant actually serve fresh squeeze orange juice and I will tell you it is so good and nothing like it getting out of a cart.
So give this a try sometimes, so you just want to do that, so I’m going to keep doing all this and I’ll come back and mixed it up and we’ll give it a try.
Male: Okay.
Female: Okay, we got all our juice, look at all that juice we got there. We try not to get a seed but we got a couple but that’s okay, were just going to pour that in. We’re going to pour in our water and sugar, give it a good stir that’s about one quart part here. Now we have our glasses with ice as best as we could on a hot summer day or even here and that range where you never know what’s it’s going to be 80 degrees or 50 degrees in the middle of the winter.
That’s tasty with the horn in it, that’s good stuff Mike. Thanks for joining us on Cajun Cooking TV check out or website its CajunCookignTV.com bye-bye.
