Refreshing Lemonade for Hot Summer Days
I had some lemons, and since it was getting hotter, I wanted to drink some lemonade.
If you go to the trouble of using Japanese domestic lemons, use domestic honey as well.
I made this sweeter, so you can make it with part sugar-free carbonated water.
If you like it a little spicy, it's also delicious when made with ginger ale.
If you don't have domestic lemons, you can also use imported.
In this case, peel the skin (the white part and the flesh's skin).
Don't use waxed lemons. Recipe by Tomozo

Cooking Instructions
- 1
You will be soaking with the peel intact, so wash the lemons well. Of course, you don't want it moist! Pat dry well to prevent molding.
- 2
Leave one lemon intact, then slice the rest into thin slices.
- 3
Pack a jar in this order: lemon slices, granulated sugar, honey, lemon slices...
- 4
Take the whole lemon, cut it in half, and squeeze out the juice. Pour this juice onto the very top layer of the jar, leaving no gaps.
- 5
Let it sit for about a week, then it will be ready to drink. The lemon slices will stick to each other, so give it a stir every once in a while with a clean spoon.
- 6
Once it's finished, store in the refrigerator. My preferred way to drink this is in a 1 to 1 ratio with soda and water. Crisp and delicious.
- 7
This jar has pink grapefruit inside it. They should be soft enough to eat as well, so add them to your drink and enjoy a little nibble.
- 8
To aid in preventing heat exhaustion, add some salt. Use a pinch for 200 ml worth of lemonade. You can't taste the salt at all.

Roman Lemonade Roman Lemonade
This is an upgraded recipe to my original (quick version). It's more concentrated in flavor with bright citrus notes that will make this a memorable beverage for family gatherings or summer picnics.The technique of using lemon peels in sugar dates back to Rome and is called "Oleo-Saccharum", meaning oil sugar and is a classic ingredient in many cocktails. Allowing the sugar to infuse for the shorter 5 hours will yield a subtler citrus flavor, while the longer 24 hours delivers peak zing. This ancient recipe was first listed as an ingredient as early as 1670. Yet today, most home cooks are unfamiliar with it. Myself included. But be prepared. There is a process and you will need to plan ahead. Though I promise you, it's worth the wait and extra effort.Now this is a very basic recipe. But you can experiment with any type of citrus; oranges, grapefruits, limes, etc. You can even add a cup of diced fruit like peaches or cranberries during the seeping process. Even 1/2 cup of mint, hibiscus, violet or rosemary could be added for more earthy/floral tones. The combination possibilities are endless. I'd love to hear about any if you decide to try them. I'll update this recipe with my own combinations in the future.
