Saffron Lemonade

A refreshing twist on classical lemonade, adding colour and flavour

Ingredients

For 1 Jug (5 glasses)

• 100g granulated sugar

• 100ml lemon/ lime juice (~ 2 1/2 🍋)

• Water

• Pinch of ground saffron

• Optional: Chia seeds

1. Dissolve the sugar in two cups of water. Squeeze your lemons/limes and add slowly to the syrup. Adjust to taste, you may need to add more sugar or lemon juice. You should have a good balance of sweet and sour. Once adjusted, diluted to taste with more water and refrigerate.

2. Place a pinch of saffron in a small cup. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (off the boil). Cover and brew for 10mins.

3. If you're using chia seeds, soak 2 teaspoons in some cold water until puffed before adding to the jug.

4. Add the brewed saffron to the citrus syrup (a teaspoon should be enough), stir and serve.
