This old-fashioned lemonade drink recipe was inspired by Sean Moran. It is considered a slow food recipe, requiring at least 10 hours before one can enjoy it.

6 Meyer lemons (or 4 regular lemons & 2 mandarins), rind pared
400g caster sugar
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon dried yeast

Method

1.

Roughly chop rind (discarding any pith). Juice lemons, then chill juice.
2.

Boil 3 litres water in a pan, then remove from heat. Add rind, sugar and cream of tartar. Cool.
3.

Mix 1/2 cup liquid with yeast, then return to pan. Cover and stand at room temperature for 10-12 hours.
4.

Strain, stir in lemon juice then pour into sterilised bottles and chill. Serve with ice and extra lemon slices.
