State Fair Lemonade & 43-Year Old 'Coney Island Steamer' Vintage Gadget

[@ladorada3276]

I made this lemonade for my friends' small outdoor wedding. It was a huge hit and great for spiking. If you want a fancy brunch beverage, add a little rose water or orange blossom water. Tis the season to add pureed strawberries for pink lemonade, too.

[@jadestrider2660]

genuine puréed strawberries in fresh lemonade is divine. I’m spoiled now and can’t drink mix pink lemonade :p

@@Keachybean You need to leave it overnight and the peels shouldn't contain too much of the white pith and don't boil the peels, just bring the water to a boil then turn off and add the peel-sugar mix and stir before straining. I tried it with oranges and it's works perfectly fine.

Emmy: gets a chemical burn on her hands from the reaction of citrus oil and uv light Me: new fear unlocked ☠️

[@Name-yv2zq]

I kept reading that as feature and I was so confused lol

[@Anastas1786]

After working with citrus fruits, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and cold water (heat and moisture can make the reaction worse), then minimize Sun exposure on the affected area for the next two days. If you have to go out, apply sunscreen. And it _sounds_ worse than it generally _is._ It's typically no worse than a bad sunburn... because now that I think about it, it basically _is_ just a bad sunburn, just one that set in quicker than usual due to the chemicals in citrus fruits. Redness, burning, itching, peeling, blisters. Chances are, you'll be fine.

[@SweetOsoka]

Haha read abkut celery, just handling it can cause a irretation but consuming can also cause sun entolerance

[@lisaflower5994]

I have watched this so many times because I love love looooove lemons! Twice a year, my husband strips the tree and I have the joyous job of zesting laundry baskets full of lemons…I stay up all night enjoying the delicious, wonderful aroma of lemons. (I pack it in small containers, the larger ones with sugar, the smaller, with salt, and freeze them, for use throughout the year for cakes, desserts and the salty ones, dressings or other savoury dishes that need lemon) The next day I juice them. Usually I freeze it in icecube trays and disposable IceCube bags because I don’t have enough trays. Last year I didn’t have enough freezer room so I made lemon cordial. This year I boiled the juice to reduce it a little and filled sterilised jars….they all sealed, I am excited to see whether it retains its vibrant freshness, unlike the horrid bottles of lemon juice that you can buy. Emmi, I just love watching you

[@Duskkit]

How is your jarred lemon juice working so far?

[@lisaflower5994]

@@Duskkit …thanks for asking! Both the lemon cordial and the reduced lemon juice became darker in colour over time. The flavour is not bright like fresh juice so, for me, a fail. I prefer it frozen.

That Coney Island steamer was one thing I could use for myself as a very young child, so I would make my own lunch in it.

You could even put sauerkraut in the bottom and have it steam in kraut juice

I've been making this lemonade for three years, and it's truly the best drink I've ever had. It's better than anything else out there, with a taste that's simply heavenly.

I worked at a county fair lemonade stand, and we squeezed the lemons right there. Half a lemon isn't enough for lemonade though, so the "water" was actually just lemonade mix.
