Fizzy Lemonade

Here is Recipe 1 we made as part of our inquiry topic and reading.  We especially enjoyed it when Sally opened the last bottle and it sprayed us all!

How to make fizzy lemonade:

You will need:
A clean 2 litre plastic bottle with a screw on cap.
Three lemons
A cup of sugar
A little bit of granulated yeast

A jug for pouring.

1. Put the sugar into the jug. Add some hot water from the tap and stir it all until the sugar has dissolved.

2. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze them into the jug too pour the mixture into your bottle then add cold water until the bottle is almost full. Leave about five centimetres of space at the top.

3. Now add the yeast about a quarter of a teaspoon will do.This is what makes the mixture fizz.Screw the cap on tightly and tip the bottle to mix everything .

4. The lemonade needs time to become fizzy.Leave it for at least four days.A place that is not too hot and not too cold is best.

You can tell if the lemonade is fizzy by squeezing the bottle.It is ready if the bottle feels quite hard.Before you open it put it in the fridge for a few hours.

IT REALLY WORKS!
