Whey Too Good Lemonade
- Citrus Infused Simple Syup
- 1 part water
- 1 part sugar
- citrus zest (not the whites)
- Lemonade
- 6 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups Citrus Infused Simple Syup
- 1/2 cup whey (from making yogurt cheese)
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon (or lime) juice
- My favorite infusion is the zest of lemons and limes, a handful of herbs like basil and mint, and a nob or two of grated ginger.
- Add everything to a saucepan and heat it slowly, to melt the sugar. I'm not convinced it needs any simmering; just warm it a bit and let it sit on the stove. When the sugar is dissolved and the citrus has imbued its color, it should be good. I never strain it at this point. I put it in a glass jar. Definitely strain before using though.
- Mix all of the above and you'll have a good probiotic drink that can be refrigerated or left on the counter, to ferment, for a day or two. Refrigerate after the second day.
