I decided to try this recipe because it looked so fresh and light and delicious, and it was. It is really simple to make. You just need some lemon syrup, which takes 5 minutes to make, some coconut milk, lemon juice, and ice. This is a little bit like this Brazilian Limeade recipe that I love, but less sweet and a little more creamy because of the coconut milk. This would be a great summer time drink.
To make the lemon syrup you just cook equal parts sugar and water with either some lemon zest, or my favorite true lemon powder. Let it cool, then mix some with coconut milk, lemon juice and ice and blend and that’s it. The coconut milk gives it a very creamy texture that nicely offsets the tartness of the lemon. This recipe made about 2 servings, so you could double it and blend in a blender for a group.
