Even if Sweden isn’t the world's hottest country we occasionally have hot days. Cravings for ice cream, soft drinks and mineral water are part of everyday life even in our beloved Sweden. Use your last super powers to make a cold lemonade at home instead of running to the corner store to buy a Coke. You don’t only just do it yourself this way, it’s also cheaper and tastier than any American bubbly drink. If you don’t believe me then try it for yourself.
3 lemons
2 limes
1.5 dl sugar
1.5 dl water
1. Boil the water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Squeeze the lemons and lime.
3. Mix together in a jug and fill up with cold water.
4. Refrigerate for a while and then serve with ice.
Bonus - If you have an enterprising vein in your body you can make a sign and set up shop and sell lemonade in the shade of a tree. I think your neighbors would rather buy from you than go to the shop and throw money at nasty sugary sodas.
Required time:
1 hour or less
Cons:
Large companies may feel that they lose you as a customer and become pissy and send spies to your apartment to find out the recipe. Don’t give it to them. Let them suffer.
Pros:
It’s cheaper, tastier and also gives you the feeling that you’ve achieved something yourself. That feeling is not to be underestimated.
