>>22071383550g sliced strawberries macerated with 100g of sugarthen left for a few hourssyrup extracted than strawberrie partsadded to 250g strawberry puree plus about 30g of sugarall reduced then added back to syrupconcentrated flavour for lemonade
lemon oleo saccharum14g lemon zest and 29g sugar muddledand left at room temp several hours150F water will be added at a ratio of 2 parts water 1 part saccarumthen combined with lemon juice extracted from six lemonsand the concentrated strawberry flavours
it will be finished with mineral water at a ratio of 1:1:51 part saccaraum extract1 part lemon juice5 parts mineral waterstrawberry concentrate to flavourtotal cost of all ingredients: ~>20$will have enough strawberry concentrate for two additional batches most likelyhave enough mineral water for six batches
>>22071398less than 20 bucks lol i think i fucked up my symbol
>>22071383>strawberry lemonadenope.you didn't make strawberry lemonade.the correct way is to make lemonade and then muddle strawberries into it.that's it.
>>22071440Oh look, a worthless opinion from someone who's so incapable that they can't even make Kool-Aid
>>22071440aha, that wouldnt mechanically extract the highest amount of strawberry flavourthere is probably higher level things i can door techniquesbut this batch of lemonade is basically going to be gourmet tieror right below that
>>22071456and it might seem “over the top”for lemonadebut its really not that much workhulling the strawberries and zesting is probably the most labor intense thingbut its just some stirring, minding quantities, cleaning some dishesall worth it in order to have high quality authentic homemade strawberry lemonadenot some chemical x processed stuff
>>22071451>opinionis that how you greet your professors of gastronomy?you either make it like cheddars does or you're fucking up.proof: they are more successful than you are.
>>22071493what does cheddars strawberry lemonade consist of?
>>22071451lol ty, i find it amusing people would denigrate thisinstead of just learning to make their own tasty beveragehaha its so satisfying making this shit from scratchand demistifying it and doing it to the highest level
here we have assembled around 2/3 cup of strawberry concentrateabout 1 cup of lemon juiceand about 1 tbsp of lemon oleo saccarum mixedthis is the base of the flavour and will be chilled togetherin a couple hours it will be pulledand combined with sparkling mineral water
this is whats left of the strawberry concentrateill either make more lemonade by grabbing six or so lemonsor ill turn this into a baked good like strawberry cupcakeswith strawberry buttercream frosting
still one left from my last batchon the next one i want to incorporate strawberry into the batternot just the frosting
>>22071875Love it, will be very yummy I’m sure
>>22071882ty! yes super good. i use softened butter instead of oil for my batterand use some sour cream as well. seems to mak an extremely good battera batch of chocolate ones i madeturned out insanei love to microwave the chocolate ones and then put ice cream on top
>>22071390Didja use organic or farmer's market lemonsIf not enjoy your hit of concentrated pesticides
>>22071896yes i used organici thought about that exact thingim glyphosate pilled
reducing further for use in cupcakesalso making spaghettifeatured also is my homemade marinarareduced from tomatoes
straining out coulis to incorporate into batter and frostingpulp will be used as a swirl in the cupcakes
it tastes good though not totally cold yetso the lack if being cold is interfering a bitovernight in the fridge should fix that
cupcake batter with strawberry coulis
>>22071896>implying organic doesnt use pesticides
>>22071888>i love to microwave the chocolate ones and then put ice cream on topI’ll have to try that, sounds really good
cupcakes with swirl of strawberry pulp after reduction
had to kind of stretch the batter on someoven is heating upgoing to make buttercream frosting with strawberry coulis now
>>22072155its amazing>>22072141goddamit. i thought about that too
yummy!
>>22071385>syrup extracted than strawberrie parts added to 250g strawberry puree plus about 30g of sugar all reduced then added back to syrupI'm having trouble making sense of this.is the 550g macerated strawberries with sugar and syrup in addition to the 250g strawberry puree? like you had 800g strawberries total?
strawberry couliswhipped butter 2 sticks one salted one unsaltedheavy creamvanilla extract
>>22072187correct, i pureed some and macerated the otherbut when making the reduction used the pureeand the pulp after extracting the syrup after maceration
strawberry butter cream
whats left of the coulis will be added to the lemonadethis strawberry buttercream is in the bag ready for applicationonce the cupcakes finish cooling
>>22072207
these are unreasonably deliciousthough i wonder if the flavour of the frosting could be improvedits good but its a bit too snappy and jarring if you willbut overall these are unfathomably good
>>22072216
>>22072216i also think my buttercream was a bit light on the powdered sugarbecause its not holding form as well as usual
>>22072218i deliberately used 1 less cup thinking i dont it too sweet but it fucked over the structure>>22072217:) honestly this is why i want to cook wellbecause the end result is so worth itpeople say its a waste of timei think its one of the most worthwhile things to learn and dowe have to eat every day!
i guess the buttercream is holding up fine
>>22071634lemonade with muddled strawberries.should be self-evident from the previous post, anon.
>>22072385ive no idea what any of this meansno it is certainly not self evidentthere are not even context clues herei am open to trying that outbut i dont think this is the optimal waybut ill look into itmy assumption is that the ideal method involves creating syrupim just learning this was actually the first time ive attempted this
breakfast time!
after sitting in the fridge overnightits more combined and colderthe flavour is very good, i wonder if sparkling mineral water is the best choicei may try distilled water next timethe sharpness of the minerals is very pronounced
>>22071493
>>22072141they really don't look it up.
>>22072216Nice, I’m literally salivating
>>22073577checked. lol i have one left lol! all you :)next thing im going to learn is cinnamon rollsfollowed by cheesecake
>lemonade>no juice only zest0/10 op is always a fag
>>22074038i squeezed juice from six lemonsit yielded about two cups
>>22074063maybe it was closer to one i didnt measure it
brunch time!
>>22074079How tiny were the lemons to get 1 cup of juice out a 6?
