Making Lemonade by Gemma

A couple of days a go the people in the green reading group made lemonade. We got into two groups and got the book we read. We  got the ingredients and started to make the lemonade. We needed three lemons, sugar, yeast, water, hot water,knife,a chopping board  a cup,a spoon and a two litre bottle. First we had to cut three lemons in half and squeeze the lemons into the cup. Next we used the spoon to take out the pips and put the lemon juice and the sugar together. We poured in hot water and dissolved the sugar. Next we filled the whole bottle up with cold water. Last of all we sprinkled in a teaspoon of  yeast. We did the bottle up and we put the bottle in a cupboard that was not too hot or too cold but just right  and left the bottle for 4 days.

On Friday we opened the bottle, it fizzed up and spilled out! We all had a bit to drink. It tasted like wine. one was too sweet and one needed more sugar. They tasted lemony.
