Ingredients
- 4 whole Lemons
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 liter Water
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 50 grams Milk chocolate (melted)
- 10 pieces Ice cubes
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Juice the lemons to extract approximately 120 ml of fresh lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp, if desired.
Step 2
In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder with 50 ml of the lemonade mixture to form a smooth chocolate syrup. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 4
Add the chocolate syrup back into the pitcher and mix well until fully combined.
Step 5
Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler. Allow it to cool slightly, then drizzle it into the lemonade mixture, stirring gently to create subtle streaks of chocolate without fully blending it.
Step 6
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Chocolate Lemonade over the ice.
Step 7
Optionally, garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf for a fragrant touch and serve immediately.
