Easy Peasy Citrus Squeezy Drink
Any amount of citrus fruit you've got kicking about in the fruit bowl works well. Use 400ml of juice to 2 litres of water as a rough guide
Ingredients
- 400ml citrus fruit juice (grapefruit, lemons, oranges, limes)
- 2 litres of water
- 200g sugar or use honey

Method
Give the fruit a wash, then use a box grater to remove the zest. Stop grating when
you see the white pith, we don’t want that.
Put all the grated zest in a large bowl. Squeeze all the juice from the fruit into the same bowl.
Pour over boiling hot water, stir well and then start adding sugar or honey to your taste. Stir to make the sugar
dissolve and keep tasting.
Once it is “right”, cover and let it cool and then sit overnight.
Next day pour through a sieve into a jug and place in the fridge to chill. Drink!
Variation
Add squishy berries – raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries all work. Use mint to add an extra flavour.
Top tip
You can squeeze the juice from citrus and then pour into ice cube
trays and pop in the freezer.
Once frozen put into labelled bags and use whenever you need a hit of citrus.
