Lemon Orange Drink.
- two lemons
- one orange (clementine)
- white sugar
Using a micro-plane, or another grating device, zest the two lemons and one orange; then juice. Measure out a portion of sugar equal to the juice and put both into a pot. Add zest. Boil the mixture and reduce. Place syrup in freezer (15 minutes) or refrigerator (45 minutes) to cool. Mix with seltzer — to taste — and serve.
for variations add mint, ginger or lavendar to simple syrup.
