Hey hey,

During the hot summer days, we are always looking for a cool drink besides water that will quench our thirst.  I enjoy drinking, infused, sparkling, and all kinds of water. but I also want a nice tall glass of my lemonade.  This recipe is an Old Style Lemonade Syrup that becomes Lemonade when adding water or sparkling water.  This Old Style Lemonade Syrup recipe consists of three ingredients, yes, just three, water, sugar, and fresh lemon juice.

This Lemonade syrup is infused with fresh lemon juice that is bursting with flavor.  Now, there are many types of flavors that you can add to this lemonade syrup.  Since I love to experiment I added strawberry syrup with sparkling water a few slices of lemons and lime and wow was that delicious!!  The added mint also boosts the taste but what stood out to me was the combination of the strawberry syrup and lemon flavors.  I have in the past years ago enjoy a glass of this delicious drink but never really tried it at home.  Sure, I make lemonade during the summer adding fresh fruit, yes, but never adding any other flavored syrup.

I started the preparation process by first cutting my lemons and limes in half and then into slices.  I added water with sugar into a medium saucepan and simmered it until it became a slightly thick syrup.  The quantity mentioned in the recipe card below is the amount that I prefer to use when making this syrup.  You can change the quantity to your tasting.  I squeezed about five lemons, the taste of organic lemons I believe is better.  I honestly wish I had a lemon tree of my own. Lemon trees are quite beautiful to look at when in full bloom don’t you think so?

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
