Delicious, cooling homemade lemonade based on tarragon. That's what will help quench your thirst and remember the taste of childhood! To make lemonade, you will need warm water(boil and cool slightly) and blend (lemonade base). The blend consists of sugar, tarragon and lemon (lime). While the water is boiling and cooling, thoroughly rinse the tarragon (tarragon). You can separate the leaves from the stems, since the stems do not play a big role in lemonade, but they are very good as a seasoning for meat.
tarragon put in a container, add two tablespoons of sugar and knead well so that the leaves release juice. Squeeze juice from 1/4 of a lemon or lime and stir the blend. Put it in a decanter or jar, pour warm water. Lemonade should cool completely, then it should be put in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours (or better all night).
Before submitting to homemade lemonade you can cut a few slices of lemon or lime and add ice.

1 liter of water
70 g sugar
Large bunch of tarragon
2 limes
Ice
What to do:
Let's cook first sugar syrup. It's simple: we take water and sugar (preferably cane, brown) in a ratio of one to one (for 70 g of sugar - the same amount of water). Boil the future syrup until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool down. By the way, you can make more syrup, with a margin - it is suitable not only for lemonade, but also for some cocktails (experiment!).
Now we divide the tarragon (another name is tarragon) into two unequal parts. B about the last one - we put it in a saucepan (not in the one with syrup, but in any other), add a little water - literally a cup - and begin to intensively knead with a mortar. The task is to squeeze as much juice out of the plant as possible.
Another way to get fragrant juice from a plant is to boil mashed tarragon in a small amount water.
Leaves that gave everything useful material, throw away without regret. True, before parting, I recommend making sure that you really squeezed everything to the last drop. As a result, only concentrated juice should remain in the pan.
Cut the limes into slices. Pour the syrup into a saucepan with juice. Add the remaining grass leaves and fill it all with a liter of water. Stir until the syrup comes into full contact with the rest of the lemonade participants.
Ready! Serve the drink chilled, preferably with ice.
Prepare ingredients for homemade lemonade"Tarhun".
Wash the tarragon greens and shake off excess water (I soaked the tarragon greens in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes).
Coarsely chop the tarragon, place in a blender bowl, add sugar.
And grind.
Transfer the crushed tarragon with sugar to a glass bowl or saucepan and pour 1 cup boiling water.
Let it brew for 40 minutes. Thanks to hot water the aroma of tarragon will open well and the taste will become more saturated and bright.
Strain the cooled tarragon infusion through a fine sieve or cheesecloth, folded in 3-4 layers, and squeeze well.
Add lemon juice to the herbal infusion.
Pour in sparkling water and mix well (adjust the amount of sparkling water to your liking).
I just strained the infusion through a sieve and did not pay attention to the fact that there were a few grains of crushed tarragon greens left in the infusion. You can strain more thoroughly if you want a smooth lemonade texture without any greenery.
It turned out a wonderful refreshing Tarragon lemonade, which we easily and simply prepared at home.
It remains only to cool it in the refrigerator or serve immediately, but add a little ice when serving.
Bon appetit and good mood!
