I’m confuse. Surely you mean the lemons are pared, and not parred? I have a couple of paring knives (short blade, angled tip) which I use to pare fruit and vegetables – is this what you mean? To pare something is to remove the outer skin. If this isn’t what you mean, can you give a detailed explanation please?
Cheers,
Anji L.

I knew that when we made real lemonade at school, we boiled the carefully parred strips of lemon peel. I remember it tasted lovely and there is no sugar syrup in this recipe, as back in 1964 no one had ever heard of sugar syrup here in England.
Thank you so much for putting this recipe online.

This looks gorgeous. I love the idea of a lemonade recipe featuring less sugar; I think I bought a low-sugar natural lemonade once and it tasted much nicer than the standard varieties anyway, so I’d love to be able to make some at home!

I do love homemade lemonade. When I was a kid, my mum made nimbu pani (lemon water), and so did family in India, similarly simple and refreshing!

I made lemonade a few months ago for the first time. This has reminded me to make some more, especially as the weather’s perfect for it now!

I love traditional lemonade but never realised how simple it was to make yourself. I’d definitely have to make mine extra lemony x
