Lemonade recipe with kiwi and dragon fruit (pitaya):
Ingredients:
2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
1 pitaya (dragon fruit), pulp extracted and sliced
4-5 lemons
1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
6 cups water (carbonated or plain)
Ice
Lemon slices, kiwi and pitaya slices for decoration
Instructions:
Peel the kiwis and cut them into small pieces. Put them in a large saucepan.
Add the chopped pitaya to the pan.
Squeeze the lemon juice into the same saucepan with kiwi and pitaya.
Add sugar to the pan.
Put the pan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it boil for another 5-7 minutes so that the kiwi and pitaya become soft and give off the juice.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the infusion cool to room temperature.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or often double-layered cheesecloth to remove the pulp and seeds.
Pour the resulting syrup into a large jug and add cold water. Mix it up.
Add ice and mix again.
Serve the lemonade in glasses, garnished with lemon slices, kiwi slices and pitaya.
