question

Do you blitz the skin on the lemon?

Hi, Yes you blitz the whole lemons for this. You could spend longer prepping the lemons and just use the pared rind and flesh and discard the pith if you wanted, lemons do vary as to how much they have. I hope this helps. Lulu

tip

Chop the lemons into small pieces and then use a hand blender, not a food processor, to chop them finely. Making a concentrated version that you can then top up with sparkling water saves room in the fridge and is really refreshing.

Gorgeous but I had to add 500ml more water and made a sugar syrup (1cup sugar + 1cup water) to add to it. Very quick and easy though, love it!!
