Homemade lemonade recipe "Duchess"

Are you planning a children's party, in honor of your child's birthday, or just a home party? In this case, the acute question arises, what is still tasty and immediately useful to treat your little guests? In this article we will try to answer it. Naturally, natural foods and drinks are the least unsafe. Compote, fruit drink, brew? But this is a bygone century, and these drinks look sad on a formal table. Therefore, we would like to offer to put on the table “Duchess” lemonade, prepared with our own hands. This drink is not only tasty and looks great, but is completely harmless for children with allergies to dyes and preservatives, which are becoming more and more common in modern realities.

The history of lemonade

This excellent drink, so beloved by children and adults, was born in Paris. In those days, France was ruled by the ruler Louis Bourbon, who was one of the first to taste this drink. Naturally, the drink we usually drink differs from what was drunk at the court of the French crown. Then lemonade was not carbonated and consisted of only 3 components: water, sugar and lemon juice.

Calorie content of Duchess lemonade

Any lemonade is, first of all, a carbonated drink that contains carbon dioxide, which creates bubbles that hit the nose. In Russian times, siphons or soda slaked with citric acid were used to create these same bubbles. But soda spoiled the taste of the drink, so over time they began to drink carbonated water with syrup.

It should be noted that the calorie content of homemade Duchess lemonade is low. Only 24 kcal per 100 g of drink, while 12 g are carbohydrates. To reduce the calorie content of the drink, you can use sugar substitutes or not sweeten it at all.

Regular lemonade recipe

This is a fairly ordinary, but very tasty recipe for Duchess lemonade. So, the following ingredients will be useful for its manufacture:

300 ml pear juice;
50 ml lemon juice;
100 g sugar;
350 ml sparkling water;
a pack of vanilla.

Before all this, you need to boil the syrup. To do this you need to prepare the fruit. We sort through and leave only whole fruits without damage. Cut the pears into small pieces and squeeze out the juice.
Then we fill some of the juice with sweet sand and add a little vanillin, just to enhance the smell.
Put the liquid on the fire and cook for a couple of minutes.
As soon as the juice boils, stir it for 3 minutes and remove.
Cool the purchased syrup.
To the other part of the juice, which is not boiled, add the juice of 1 or 2 squeezed lemons.
Mix sparkling water, syrup and juice.

It is especially pleasant to drink this drink during a hot period of time with ice and an additional slice of lemon.

Making "Natakhtari"

In the previous recipe, we looked at the traditional type of lemonade. But now there are quite a few versions of this invigorating drink among various peoples of the world. "Natakhtari" is like one of them. This is the Georgian version of lemonade.

So, what is Georgia most famous for? Natural mineral springs, seaside resorts, unpolluted mountain air. It was in such a wonderful environment that this excellent lemonade was born. It contains natural fruits and mineral water from mountain springs. This drink in itself is already a healing agent. The presence of mint adds an elusive zest to the recipe. In addition, the composition of the drink is very similar to the classic version of Duchess lemonade.

1 kg of Duchess pears;
250 g sweet powder;
2 liters of mineral water;
fresh mint leaves.

It is necessary to grind mint with sweet powder into a paste and brew with boiling water in a thermos for an hour.
Then a pear syrup is prepared with sweet powder and water. This particular variety of pear is recommended because it is particularly sweet and juicy. We make puree from the fruit.
Mix the finished mass with the strained infusion and sweet powder. We get a ready-made saturated infusion, very thick in mixture.
“Natakhtari” is prepared from pear concentrate and mineral water just before serving. To do this, two-thirds of the pear-mint consistency is diluted with mineral water. To do this, it is better to purchase a good mineral water from Georgia.
For larger groups, the drink is diluted in a larger container immediately and must be covered with a tight lid.

The drink is served chilled, garnished with mint sprigs.

Italian lemonade

The Italians did not stand aside and made their own version of the pear drink. The Italian version of Duchess lemonade is prepared using exotic fruits such as grapefruit and mango. Thanks to these components, a drink with an unusual, tonic taste is obtained.

1 ripe grapefruit;
2 large pears;
1 small mango;
a glass of raspberries;
sweet syrup;
lemon juice.

As in the previous recipe, first an extract of fruits and berries is prepared, which is diluted with very carbonated water. This version of lemonade is usually generously decorated with pieces of fruit and whole raspberries.

Lemonade "Duchess", prepared with your own hands, will become a beautiful drink that quenches thirst in hot weather, and will also be the main table decoration for both children and adults.

How to make pear lemonade at home

Answer the question, which product can be considered more harmless and natural; and the answer is very clear, naturally, the one that is made by us personally. Especially when it comes to carbonated drinks, because any juice in the store is a set of chemical parts, so why not make pear lemonade with your own hands at home. The taste of such a soft drink is a hundred times better than industrial drink, and one can talk endlessly about its usefulness, and the main thing is that it is easier to prepare than usual.

Pear lemonade: composition and calorie content

Any carbonated or non-carbonated lemonade contains lemon, sugar and water. But with regard to fizzy drinks, the presence of carbon dioxide in the composition remains constant, which creates the bubbles that hit the nose. Previously, siphons were used to carbonate drinks from water and fruit syrup. And those who did not have them at their disposal resorted to the simplest method of extinguishing soda with citric acid or vinegar.

To be fair, it should be seen that the presence of soda in the drink distorts the unique taste of lemonade, so these days the most common solution is the use of highly carbonated water to dilute the syrup.

But if you want to reduce the calorie content, then to sweeten the drink it is better to use sweeteners: fructose, stevia, sorbitol and other popular additives. In some cases, you can completely avoid the sweetness of drinking.

How to make pear syrup

Having dealt with water and gas, we smoothly approached the main task of making lemonade - syrup. What is syrup? This is fruit juice boiled until thickened with sugar. In principle, the answer lies in the entire development of the production of pear syrup:

Squeeze the juice from the pear pulp using a juicer;
Mix it with sweet sand and a small amount of water;
Cook the syrup over low heat until the syrup thickens and the sweet crystals dissolve;
Cool the finished syrup and filter through a sieve.

The base for pear lemonade is ready. And oh, learn how to prepare a real drink ala “Duchess,” our step-by-step recipe for lemonade with pear will tell you.
