Novosibirsk residents can prepare refreshing tarragon lemonade at home using a simple recipe. This homemade beverage is a perfect way to cope with thirst during the warm summer days.

To make homemade tarragon lemonade, you will need: 50-70 grams of tarragon greens, 1 liter of water, 1 lemon, carbonated water for dilution, and ice.

First, wash the tarragon greens (leaves and young stems), coarsely chop them, and grind them in a blender. Then, remove the zest from the lemon and squeeze out about four tablespoons of juice, adding it to the blender with the greens.

Next, boil about half a liter of water, add sugar, and stir until it dissolves completely. Add the tarragon and lemon mixture to the sugar water, bring it to a boil again, cover, and turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for several hours, or overnight, to allow it to infuse.

After infusing, strain the mixture through a sieve, discarding the tarragon. The resulting concentrate should be diluted with carbonated or plain water, according to your taste.

Serve the homemade tarragon lemonade chilled with ice cubes and garnish with a slice of lemon.
