Limbu Sherbet/Lemonade

Limbu Sherbet or Lemonade is Akanksha’s favourite drink so much that I have to hide the blessed thing from her.  So when my friend sent me a bag full of lemons there was no other choice but make Limbu Sherbet.  So without much ado let’s get down to what I have done.

Ingredients:

1 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed

2 cups sugar

1 cup water

½ tsp salt

Food colour of you choice (optional)

Lemon essence (optional)

Method:

1.     Mix sugar and water, heat it when it comes to a rolling boil switch off the gas.

2.     Cool the mixture completely. Strain.

3.     Strain the juice in another vessel.

4.     Now mix the fruit juice, colour & essence if using.

P.S. in case you are using any other juice like say pineapples add 6 grms citric acid to the water and sugar mixture 7 boil .

You can also use potassium-meta-bisulphate as a preservative. I generally avoid it.
