  • About

This traditional sweet and sour drink is popular with adults and children; perhaps it is nostalgia and the thought of long summers spent lazily in the sunshine as a child. It is certainly far superior to any commercial product you can buy. Tastes have changed over the years, and archive recipes use fewer lemons and more sugar. You can adjust the taste to your liking by adding more lemon juice or sugar before storing.
