Recipe in caption🍋🥒 I fermented some super plain Recipe in caption🍋🥒

I fermented some super plain pickles (just salt, water, cucumbers) and figured they would be perfect to make a hydrating summer lemonade! It’s more like a lemonade concentrate and then you can add water to dilute it to your liking! Honestly super surprised at how amazing this tastes. I suggest maple syrup or organic cane sugar to sweeten bc honey is acidic and this lemonade doesn’t really need more acidity.

Probiotic Pickle Lemonade:

5-6 large lemons, peeled and cut in half
~10 ounces plain pickles with brine (fermented) 
3/4 cup maple syrup (or sugar)
Water

Add everything to your blender with enough water to cover the lemons and pickles.
Blend on high for about a minute or two
Strain through one layer of cheesecloth into a pitcher
Taste and dilute with more water to your liking and serve over ice.
(Makes about 8 servings)

It’s been a while since I’ve gone to the farmers market and bought whatever looked great, with no real plans on what to do with it.  Almost forgot how much fun it is to play around with fermentation with no plan. 

p.s. you may notice our content start to look a little different. Since we just moved from our tiny apartment into a house, we now have the space to make our content in the kitchen instead of on a fold out table in our bedroom lol :) I’m so excited for this new szn of Cultured Guru
