Alcmene's Lemonade

Alcmene's lemonade

Alcmene makes some awesome lemonade. Seriously. It has magical powers that can distract both Human and God alike. See for yourself:

Interesting Note: Alcmene only brought out one pitcher and two cups, but Iolaus, Ares, and Strife each had a drink - at least two of them had to have drank out of the same cup.

1.03 - What a Crockery

Iolaus stumbles up to Alcmene in a near panic.
Iolaus: (gasping) There's big danger! Big danger! We... (he sees the lemonade) Oooo. Lemonade. (takes a cup) Thanks.

Hercules flings Ares onto the picnic table, smashing it to pieces. Hercules and Alcmene rush into Alcmene's house.
Ares: (laughing) You can't hide from me, little brother! (sees the lemonade) Oh, cool. Lemonade. (takes a cup and sips it as he gets back to his feet)

Hercules and Ares are fighting in Alcmene's yard while Strife stands on the sidelines, cheering.
Strife: (cheering) Give it to him, Uncle Ares! (sees the lemonade) Ooo, Lemonade. (takes a cup and sips it)

Hercules and Alcmene are holding each other, happy to be alive.

Alcmene: Be thankful for such good friends.
Hercules: I am. Mom?
Alcmene: Yeah?

Hercules: You got any of that lemonade left?

Recipe

• This recipe was found by Bryn. It was apparently served at a Greek festival in Norfolk.

Ingredients

• 5-6 lemons
• 1 cup sugar (or to taste)
• 2 cups water (or to taste)
• 1 tsp orange blossom water (available online)
• 3-4 mint sprigs

Instructions

• Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.
• While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.
• Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher.
• Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength.
• Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes.
• If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.
