Grilled Lemonade

While I haven’t grilled it all, I’ve grilled a lot of it.

The standards: Beef, pork, chicken, vegetables

The next level: Fish, shrimp, turkey, pineapple, pears

A little more unusual: rabbit, avocados, romaine lettuce leaves

Now I have grilled a beverage. Lemonade to be exact. Well, technically I’ve grilled the lemons and some sugar, but hey, it counts.

Grilled Lemonade

Not only unique, it has a great flavor.

Lemons, sugar, water and a pinch of salt.

Slice the lemons and dip them in sugar.

Dissolve the sugar in water over heat.

Grill the lemons.

Once grilled, prepare to juice them.

The heat will really allow the juice to flow. This is all lemon juice. I think in the future, I’d add a few more lemons to add more tartness to the drink.

With the sugar syrup and a little ice.

Delicious and refreshing!
