171/365 Freshly Made Cherryade Anyone?

Thanks, don't mind if I do.

 

225g fresh, ripe cherries

600ml boiling water

1 lime

50g Sugar

Sparkling water, to dilute

 

Wash the cherries and remove all stalks. Chop each one in half and remove the stones. Put the fruit in a big bowl and bruise it slightly with the back of a metal spoon to get the juices flowing. Pour the hot water over the cherries and stir. Using a potato peeler remove a couple of chunky strips of peel from the lime and add it to the cherries, along with the juice of one quarter of the lime.

 

Add the sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Cover and leave for two hours. Strain. Add cold sparkling water to dilute to your own taste

 

Enjoy!
