Creamy Lemonade
Report
Creamy Lemonade blends fresh lemon juice, sugar, water, and cream to create a smooth, tart, and mildly sweet beverage with a rich texture. The lemons are blended whole, then strained for a fresh, thick lemonade base. Combining this with cream and serving over crushed ice results in a refreshing drink with a velvety finish. It’s an interesting twist on classic lemonade for those who enjoy a creamier, tangy refreshment.
Description
Creamy Lemonade uses whole lemons, including the peel, blended with sugar and water, then strained to yield a thick fresh lemon liquid. Adding cream and briefly blending it creates a slightly whipped, smooth drink with a balance of tart citrus and sweetness along with a creamy consistency. This recipe emphasizes fresh, raw ingredients and minimal processing, allowing the bold lemon flavor and luxurious texture to shine. Served over crushed ice, it offers a cool, indulgent twist on traditional lemonade, making it suitable for warm days or as a unique homemade beverage option.

Ingredients
- 2 lemon medium to large, washed
- 2 cups water
- 1/4-1/2 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
- 1/2 cup cream
Instructions
- Slice the lemons into quarters
- Place the lemons in your blender. Add the sugar and water and blend until smooth. This took about 15 seconds. Note: a food processor will also work for this. I recommend tasting the mixture to see if you want to add more sugar.
- Strain the mixture through a mesh seive, pushing all the liquid through. Discard the solids.
- You'll be left without about 3 cups of a thick lemonade.
- Pour this back into your rinsed out blender, and add the cream. Blend briefly, about 5-10 seconds, to combine. This will whip the cream slightly and you'll have a thick creamy lemonade.
- Pour over crushed ice and serve.
