Making lemonade

Today the Blue reading group read ‘Mr Marvel and the Lemonade’, a story about a magician who makes lemonade. To extend our learning, we then followed and sequenced instructions to make our very own lemonade. We all agreed it was delicious!

Scroll down for the recipe, if you wish to try making some at home.

Lemonade

  1. First, make the sugar syrup. Put 200g caster sugar and 250ml water into a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. This makes enough syrup for 2 jugfuls and it can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week. Remember to ask an adult for help with this, as it involves using the cooker.

2. Squeeze the juice from 6 lemons into a jug.

3. Add in half the sugar syrup and fill up the rest of the jug with cold water.

4. Mix to combine and add ice and lemon slices if desired.

5. Enjoy!
