A fizzy and tangy fermented lemonade that has a boost of probiotics (beneficial bacteria).

Course Beverages Servings Ingredients 10 lemons/limes, juiced 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup whey 2.5 - 3 litres filtered water, spring water or de-chlorinated water 4 litres or "gallon size" glass or food safe plastic jar

Instructions

1. Pour the sugar into the gallon size glass jar and add just enough hot water to dissolve the sugar.
2. Add lemon juice and fill the jar about ¾ full with filtered water.
3. Make sure the liquid is at room temp and add the whey.
4. Cover tightly and let sit at room temperature for 2-3 days, preferably out of direct sunlight. The longer it sits, the less sugar in the final product.
5. After 2-3 days, keep in fridge and only drink 4-6 ounces per day if you’re not used to drinking a lot of probiotics. The flavor will continue to develop in the fridge.
6. Since the sugar ferments out, this will be quite tart. Add additional sweetener to taste – honey, sugar, molasses, maple syrup, stevia – and feel free to experiment with adding other juices for both sweetness and a different flavour. Strawberry, raspberry or watermelon juice are fantastic additions.
