Lemon Fresh

Lemon is widely recognised as a valuable source of vitamin C, the miracle vitamin which strengthens the immune system, promotes healing and helps us deal with stress. Pectin, a form of soluble fibre in citrus fruit, helps maintain or lower cholesterol levels and protects against heart disease. Lemon refreshes and cleanses the mouth and is thought to assist digestion. A time-honoured soother for colds and fever, lemon drinks continue to be essential and comforting tonics in homes everywhere.

What better way to gain these benefits than to drink Ali’s Lemon Fresh which will, at the same time, allow the taste buds to indulge in the pleasure of this delightful elixir. Ali’s Lemon Fresh uses her great-grandmother’s recipe and contains the whole lemon, so it provides all the benefits attributed to this fruit. It contains no artificial preservatives, so keep refrigerated.

In winter serve Ali’s Lemon Fresh hot with fresh ginger to alleviate the symptoms of colds and flu. The addition of honey helps to soothe a sore throat.

In summer, served with soda and a sprig of mint, it is a refreshing mocktail enjoyed by all ages. At parties it is the perfect drink for the designated driver and those who don’t drink alcohol. At family celebrations and gatherings, serve as a special bubbly for those too young to indulge in champagne.
