Ingredients
- 3 limes
- 1 lemon
- 3 cups hot water ((700ml))

Method
- Remove the ends from the lime/lemon then cut off the outer peel, discard the peel and place the fruit in a small bowl.
- Meanwhile, pour 3 cups of hot water into a blender along with the raw cane sugar, lime and lemon (you may want to add more later).
- Make sure the lid is secure as you are dealing with HOT water then carefully blitz the lime/sugar/water into a smooth consistency.
- .Grab a large bowl with a fine mesh strain/cheesecloth placed over it and pour the contents from the blender into it.
- Discard whatever excess is left in the strainer.
- Pour 5 cups of cold water into the large bowl and stir.If the lemonade is slightly warm, simply allow to completely cool.
- Do a taste test in case you want to add more sugar, if so simply dissolve the amount you desire into a very small amount of hot water before adjusting the sweetness/taste.
