Saffron & Cardamom Lemonade Concentrate

Ingredient Amount Calories
Lemon juice 14.4g 3kcal
White sugar 300g 1155kcal
Tap water 240g 0kcal
Saffron 1g 3kcal

Recipe Instructions:

1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons green cardamom powder
8 strands, saffron

Make a simple syrup by dissolving the sugar and water over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure that it does not burn. Simmer for a minute once the sugar is dissolved.
Turn off the heat. Add the cardamom and saffron and cool completely.
Pour in the lemon juice and stir to mix.
Strain and store in a sterilized bottle in the refrigerator.
To make the lemonade, pour 3 tbsp. of the concentrate in a glass. Muddle some mint leaves and sprinkle some salt. Add ice cubes and fill up with cold water. Stir and enjoy! I also like to drink this with a dash of vodka *wink.* If you’re a soda person, this works well with soda as well.
