Yemeni Lemonade
This is sold almost on all street-corners in Aden (Yemen). Vendors with their carts fix this icy cold lemonade fresh as you wait! I’ve honestly never tasted better or more refreshing lemonade anywhere in the world!
Ingredients
- 2 small green limes cut them lengthwise into 4 pieces and put them in a blender
- 500 ml cold flaky icy water...even some ice cubes mixed in is fine
- 1 tsp. milk powder
- a pinch of salt
- 4-5 tbsp. sugar
Instructions
- Blend together for not more than a minute, if you blend too long it will get bitter….then sieve all the gunk out, taste if sugar is ok, add ice cubes n serve fresh!
Notes
Be sure not to over blend the limes coz then your drink will be sour instead of refreshing! This is also best served fresh, as in from the blender, sieve it and add lots of ice cubes and serve!
I’ve never tasted a more refreshing lemonade before! Perfect <3 =)
Salam sis ths is the very first tim i tried one of u recipes n i must say lemonade ws v refreshing my huby luvd it n so did i 🙂 jazakallah 4 sharing ur recipes
what is milk powder???
It’s powdered milk. Milk in powder form.
a/s…dis was d frst thng i tried frm ur recips…t taste g8 wen v drnk direct frm blendr bt after sumtyme t bcums bitter y so..?
W/Salaam, because this lemonade is made with fresh lemons, peels and all. It should be served immediately as recommended in the recipe. The longer it sits the more bitter it gets. When served fresh it is out of this world awesome.
assalaamualaikum sisters.. maashaAllaah tried this for iftaar and it was indeed refreshing!! Jazaakillaah khair fauzia. however a humble tasty tip for a twist of a mint flavor would be to add 4/5 fresh mint leaves !!
Also was just curious, anyone know the health benefits of drinking lime/lemon ade??
fauzia, also what does the milk powder do? Is it ok to omit it?
It adds to the flavour and gives the drink and nice colour and froth. You can leave it out if you like.
could u use lemon to replace lime
Yes you can, but since lemons are bigger and juicier than limes, reduce the amount used to just 1 or half lemon depending on size.
Assalamualaikum sister..Should I take the peel of the lemon too,and blend it?
W/Salaam, use with the peels.
I and my hubby loved it….very refreshing. jazakallah
