How to dilute lemonade

To make real lemonade, the juice or puree of the main ingredient is diluted with a certain amount of liquid. Depending on the volume and intensity of flavor, you can add as much as a bucket of water. Most recipes call for regular drinking water. However, this is only one option for diluting lemonade.

Do you like carbonated drinks? Then here's an option with the addition of carbonated mineral water — perfect for you. The lemonade is fizzy and much richer. You can make Fanta, Tarkhun, and Mirinda at home. But be careful when choosing mineral water, as bottled water sometimes has a peculiar aftertaste. Choose purified drinking water.

Lemonade can also be diluted with Sprite, Sevenape, and even... white kvass. The latter combination is very unusual, but it also has its fans.

Finally, you can make homemade syrup and use it as a thinner. In this case, omit the sugar in the recipe, if any.

Making a mojito at home is easy, and the results are always incredible! Make some delicious lemonade for your family to please them during this hot summer.
