In Zim there is nothing to buy in the shops. One time we were up there one of the ladies in one of the churches gave us some homemade lemon juice. It was great and really thirst quenching.
Check out the recipe. Really simple.
Juice of 7 rough lemons
zest of at least 2 ( can be adjusted to your preference )
1 ltr boiling water
1 tsp Citric Acid
1.2 kg white sugar. ( you can adjust this once you determine your preferences for taste .)
Method.Dissolve sugar in hot water.
add the zest to steep ( alternatively leave the zest and add when the water has cooled slightly - again a matter of preference)
add citric Acid to the hot water allow to cool to about blood temperature and add the lemon juice .
Cover and leave to cool.When cool - bottle and refrigerate . use as a cordial mix with water or soda .
Try it you won't be sorry.
