Lemonade Sirup

Betty's Lemonade Syrup Splash Recipe

Описание:

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a zesty Lemonade Syrup Splash. It is a concentrate that you can refrigerate or freeze and have instant, refreshing lemonade anytime!

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh lemon juice (In a pinch, you may use reconstituted lemon juice from a bottle.)
2 cups sugar (You may use artificial sweetener, if you choose. I used Splenda.)
1 cup water

Combine 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool. (You may cool this syrup at room temperature for a bit, and then you may refrigerate it to make it cool faster.) Add 1 cup lemon juice. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. (I use a *clean* mayonnaise jar with a lid, and shake the mixture every time I use it.) When ready to serve, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the lemonade syrup to 1 tall glass of ice water. During the summertime this is great to keep in your refrigerator. You can have a tall, refreshing glass instantly, or you can use more of the syrup for a pitcher of lemonade for lunch or dinner! This should be one of your savers!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: This lemonade concentrate is designed to be liquid. Once it is made, it should be stored in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, but I would not expect it to keep well outside the refrigerator or freezer. I'm sorry about that, but I wouldn't be comfortable storing it in the pantry.

Avinesh Wadhwa пишет: @lamrenee801 Yes, I am diabetic and was looking for a recipe to make sugar-free lemonade. This recipe has the best proportion of tang and sweetness!!!
Thank you Betty's, will be forever grateful for this one!

deryler пишет: Yeah you have right, the dextrose is like sugar, but i like it beacause it has a really good taste with that.
I' use "splenda" stuff too, and often without sugar, honey is good for that too.
And there is my favorite, the fructose but this is not so cheap. :)
So the standard sugar is the worst choice for cooling down in the heat. :)
some piece of lime can add a special taste for lemonade too.

There is no way I can fit it all in the refrigerator and preferably not in the freezer again. If I changed the amount of sugar would it change its life span? How much sugar should I use if that is the case?

daisyflower22 пишет: Betty it seems you read my mind also, because i was thinking of a way to use up my extra lemons, as i hate things to go to waste, i made myself a honey and lemon tea earlier because i thinking i am coming down with flu, now i know what else my lemons can go towards, thanks once again for a great recipe! I really enjoy watching your channel, i am glad i came across it!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Lemonade syrup keeps very well, as long as it is not contaminated with something like a spoon dipped into something that doesn't keep well. If taken care of properly, you could mix up your lemonade drinks for about a month. Mine is always gone after about a week--and it definitely will be very fresh for that long!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Thanks for your comment! This is great to keep on hand for yourself, or if someone stops by and you want to offer a cool drink that's not a soda! I hope you enjoy it!
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @KissHope Thanks, Hope. The Splenda from the bag doesn't taste any different, but it is more convenient to measure.

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Hi Mera,\r
I had already finished shooting the lemonade syrup before our discussion of sweeteners, and I didn't want to do it over. (I would have to re-do *many* recipes, if I changed out the sweetener!) I do plan to check out Stevia, but ultimately it's up to the viewer. In this video, I had already stated that I was using Splenda to save on calories, but that they could use sugar or something else. I'm still trying to determine how to best please my viewers and give them the healthiest options!

daisyflower22 пишет: It gets really hot here in Saudi Arabia aswell, at this time of year it usually is over 100 farenheit, the otherday it was 112 farenheit, it's also really humid in the City that I live! I will make the Lemonade tomorrow if i am feeling better, it's nearly 10pm here! I was just wondering if your got my message about the Mac and Cheese recipe i sent earlier? anyways take care for now, send my regards to your family!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Thanks, Mera! You are so sweet! And you are helping me so much with this dilemma!
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: That sounds like a good mix! I want it to be calorie free, but healthy. Choosing the sweetener is just a choice each person should make! Thanks for your great input!

Aima Munira пишет: this is such a good idea!! thanks for the recipe! :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @BlueandPinkAngelz I don't think you can use it for lemonade. It sounds like it cooked too long. You might be able to melt some chocolate with it and use it as a topping for ice cream if it is thick enough.\r
--Betty :)

This was soooo refreshingly good I had two glasses. I did pour two tablespoons of the strawberry syrup over the ice, it eally made for a pretty drink and tasty too. Thanks again for your wonderful idea.

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @LeonPass I don't know! This is an oldie!
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Very good ideas that you bring up here! Lots of options! Thanks!!!
--Betty :)

Noreen's Kitchen пишет: I agree with you Mera. Stevia is what everyone should use as an alternative to sugar if the calories and health factor are an issue. Doing some research on Splenda will reveal that it is a derivative of sugar, derived by the use of Chorine, turning sugar into a chlorocarbon, or poison, which can also be used as an insecticide. If you are concerned about your health, don't use splenda or equal, use stevia (natural) or good old sweet and low. The risks of the pink stuff are less than the other

Betty's Kitchen пишет: A month was just a rough estimate. If the jar has remained unopened, you shouldn't have to discard it. Lemon juice keeps really well, and the syrup that was added to it was boiled, so it would not have anything that would spoil, so there is no reason for it to go bad, unless it had been opened and dipped into many times. It sounds like yours is still fresh!\r
--Betty :)

sarah clifton пишет: Could I use half splenda half sugar?

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Less sugar is fine! I like my lemonade tart, too! Nice to hear from you! Thanks for commenting!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Thanks! Yes, that sounds like a great cold remedy! Thanks for the great tip!\r

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Thanks for your kind comments, Ben. You are always so sweet! I hope you like the lemonade syrup idea! Have a good night.

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Hi Lucy! I am so glad that you can use the lemonade syrup recipe! It's hot here, and lemonade is so refreshing! Thanks for the sweet comment!
Have a wonderful day!!!
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @schnor88 I use artificial sweetener in this lemonade syrup. I use Splenda or Sweet and Low, but I think Stevia (which is sold under various names) is regarded to be a safe, natural sweetener.
--Betty :)

MaryE MCLea пишет: yummy syurp

schnor88 пишет: Hey, I would love to try this lemonade syrup, I'm gonna make this one day. Does it taste different if u use Splenda? I concerned about the health risks of artificial sweeteners.

I love your local accent, btw =D Is that how u speak in Kentucky?

Avinesh Wadhwa пишет: Betty's you are genius and I love you so much. I am diabetic and was craving for a good chilled sugar free glass of lemonade from so long. I tried so many combinations, but all turned out to be disasters.
I saw your video, and made it right away. It is sooo good... i added a bit more splenda and its just the way i like it!
Please post more such recipes of ready-to-use syrups or any sugar-free recipes!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @KissHope Thanks for the lovely comment! The idea of strawberry syrup over the ice sounds beautiful! Thanks for the great tip!
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Thanks for your additional information! A lot of my viewers are wanting calorie-free recipes, and I usually end up just telling them to use the kind of sugar or sweetener they prefer. I don't feel like there has been enough research done to definitively say one particular one has no harmful effects for the long term. It's nice to open a forum for people to add their expertise and opinions. Thanks for commenting!
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Yes, or all one or the other. (Stevia is a good sweetener, too.)
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: You are quite welcome! It's great to have the syrup mix in your refrigerator, so you can have fresh lemonade anytime! Thanks for your nice comment!
--Betty :)

KissHope пишет: Brilliant idea Betty. I love lemon aid as well but hate the trouble of juicing and all. This will work perfectly. I am familiar with Splenda in packets but not the product you used. Does it taste even better than the packet sweetener? I might add a couple teaspoons of my homemade strawberry syrup to the glass and see how that taste.

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @lamrenee801 Yes, I love to use Splenda for purposes like this lemonade syrup. However, some people like to use pure cane sugar only.\r
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Hi again, Lucy! I'm really glad that you can use the lemonade syrup! I hope you start feeling better soon! I haven't gotten your message about the mac 'n cheese, but I haven't check my private message yet--maybe it is there! I will get back to you, if it is! \r
Wishing that you will be well soon!\r
