Mrs Frugal Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 This is gorgeous. Refreshing, thirst quenching and so easy to make. Old Fashioned Orangeade Makes 3 litres 3 lemons 10 oranges 200g caster sugar 500ml water Bring the rinds of the 3 lemons to the boil in half a litre of water. Dissolve 200g caster sugar in this hot water and leave to cool. Strain and add the juices of the 10 oranges and 3 lemons and then add 2 litres of water. Chill until ready to use. Delicious! Don't waste the orange rinds. Remove them with a potato peeler and dry in an airing cupboard or in a low oven then use in pot pourri or add to a jar of caster sugar to make a lovely flavoured sugar for cake baking.

Mrs Frugal Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Oh dear Emma. Sounds very frustrating indeed! Hope they hurry up so you can enjoy the orangeade before summer's well and truly over - it'll be just as delicious over winter though and will probably keep all those colds at bay too !

theherd123 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 September the 18th is the day the kitchen is being fitted so give me a week or so to get it decorated then its cooking all the way! Lets just hope i dont burn it down! Home cooked food should not be a luxury but it is at present, im fed up of salad and take away rubbish but im sure posting delicious recipes will keep me thinking positive until all the work is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
