Equipment for the Best Lemonade (Lemon Squash)
Just a squeeze of info: some links here might add some zest to our bank account, at no extra cost to you! Don’t pucker up though, we only sling recommendations for products we’ve tested and love!
1. Lemon Juicer / Citrus Juicer
To make this bewitching beverage, you’ll need the right tools. For a top-notch lemon squeezer, we recommend the Zulay Metal Lemon Lime Squeezer from Amazon. Made from high-quality aluminum and lead-free coating, it efficiently extracts all the juice without the seeds! However, no matter how careful you are, sometimes a seed can slip through. These can be a pain to fish out, so rather than having to go diving for lemon seeds, we recommend squeezing the lemons over a fine mesh metal strainer like these, also available from Amazon. We use these strainers in our kitchen and love them!
2. Drink Pitcher / Drink Dispenser
Next, we need a pitcher to mix and serve our enchanting lemonade. The Takeya Patented and Airtight Pitcher is a customer favorite on Amazon. This two quart pitcher is the perfect size for this recipe! However, if you want to be swimming in this tantalizingly tart lemonade, we recommend the FineDine Glass Drink Dispenser which can hold a gallon’s worth of this delicious potion!
Tongue Tying Lemon Squash Recipe Instructions
1. Create a Simply Magical Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with 1/2 cup of the water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved to create a simple syrup. Once the syrup begins boiling, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
2. Add Lemon Juice & Water
While your syrup cools, squeeze your lemons with the Zulay squeezer until you have 1 cup of juice (about 6-7 lemons). Pour this into your pitcher, followed the remaining 3 cups of cold water, 2 cups of ice, and simple syrup to taste. For the perfect balance of tart and sweet, we recommend using all of the simple syrup, but if you like your lemonade on the REALLY tart side (Tongue Tying Lemonade is already on the tart side), feel free to use less. Stir well and give your lemon squash a taste – add more water or simple syrup if needed until you’ve achieved your ideal balance of sweet and tart.
3. Serve with More Lemon!
Serve your Tongue Tying Lemonade over ice and garnish with a slice of lemon (or one of the juiced lemon halves) and a sprig of mint for that extra magical touch.
Voila, you’ve just whipped up a refreshing batch of Tongue Tying Lemonade right in your kitchen! Now, sit back and enjoy the tart taste of magic. This recipe brings the Wizarding World right to your home, perfect for a hot day or a Harry Potter movie marathon.
