“Interlude Jason’s Lemonade Item: [Jason’s Lemonade] (normal rank, common) A delicious citrus drink (consumable, beverage). Effect: Refreshing. Crafting requirements: Materials: 6 lemons. 1 and ¼ cups of sugar. 5 cups of water. Amounts of sugar and lemon juice can be adjusted, if you like it extra sweet or with bit of a twang to it. Tools: Mixing bowl. Cooking pot. Mesh strainer. Lemon/vegetable peeler. Lemon juicer (optional). Serving pitcher. Steps: Wash lemons. If they feel waxy, scrub them under hot water. Peel the zest from 6 lemons with a veggie peeler. You want the yellow zest, but don’t be too worried about getting some of the white. Set the peeled lemons aside. Cover the lemon zest with 1 and a quarter cup of sugar in a mixing bowl and combine by tossing. Cover with some cling wrap and leave for at least 2 hours, but longer is better. Leaving them overnight works very nicely. Bring 5 cups of water to the boil, in a pot on high heat. Turn off heat and pour in lemon-sugar mix. Bring water to a boil in a pot over high heat; turn off heat and add the lemon-sugar mixture, including the peel. Stir, then leave as the sugars dissolve, which should be about 5 minutes. Strain the liquid back into the mixing bowl through a mesh strainer to excise the peel. Do not add the lemon juice immediately. Let the liquid sit until room temperature; about half an hour should do. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze into the bowl through the mesh strainer. Pour lemonade into a serving pitcher, cover in cling wrap, and refrigerate until nice and chilly. Pouring the lemonade over ice without chilling it first will melt the ice and water it down, so get it nice and cold. I’d recommend a couple of hours. Then pour over some ice and prepare to get seriously quenched.”
