Grilled Lemonade

While I haven’t grilled it all, I’ve grilled a lot of it.

The standards: Beef, pork, chicken, vegetables

The next level: Fish, shrimp, turkey, pineapple, pears

A little more unusual: rabbit, avocados, romaine lettuce leaves

Now I have grilled a beverage. Lemonade to be exact. Well, technically I’ve grilled the lemons and some sugar, but hey, it counts.

Once grilled, prepare to juice them.

The heat will really allow the juice to flow. This is all lemon juice. I think in the future, I’d add a few more lemons to add more tartness to the drink.

With the sugar syrup and a little ice.

    We (Indians) make one by charring raw mangoes on stove top. It’s called “Aam Pora Sharbat”. Aam= mango, pora=burnt, sherbet=drink. A burnt mango drink.
    Yours look delicious!

    Great idea. We grill pineapple and serve it with vanilla ice cream or cream.
