The Filipino Lemonade

When I was still a child and sick, I remember my mother getting 3 to 5 calamansi fruit and extract the juice, mixed a tablespoon of sugar or honey and let me drink it up to the last drop. She said it is good for me to get well earlier. Of course I didn’t know it’s the Vitamin C that is helping me to get well. All I know is the sweet taste from the calamansi or citrus fruit.

But aside from this reason, calamansi juice have been favorite in the rural village because calamansi is just common in one place, second is the easy preparation of juice drink. Just like that. Because eating one fruit is not acceptable because of the sour taste. Aside from juice drink, only few recipe that need the juice extract.

Here comes the lemonade.

One town in our province which is Tagudin got the perfect idea to serve the lemonade with no problem. They made the calamansi juice drink ready to drink. In the Trade Fair festivals, the town is selling the calamansi juice in their booth. The ready to drink juice is filled in the plastic bottles and was refrigerated. The people don’t need to go through the hard way, just twist the cap of the plastic bottle and drink the lemonade. And it cost less.

Aside from the lemonade, the town is also selling the concentrate juice extract. No water or sugar was added but just a pure citrus extract. One plastic bottle can be made to more than 20 glasses. You don’t need to harvest calamansi fruit because the extract is the practical way of making a glass of lemonade.

The other product from the juice is calamansi wine and the calamansi vinegar. The products are new twist for calamansi because its not only the lemonade now serving the calamansi. Now the vinegar and the wine are coming to town.

The good thing about these products, its organic and nutritious.###

    • SuperD, you are right, there are lots of bottled calamansi juices in Philippines. I am happy to know that you are from Philippines.Where are you in Philippines? I have just read about calamansi juice , it contains high level of vitamin C that could give enough protection against bad sicknesses.I always drink bottled calamansi juice .

    • drinking calamansi juice is really refreshing! I love the taste of it coupled with sugar or honey. When i still a kid my mother used to serve us either dalandan juice, santol juice, or carrot juice. My favorite refreshment is carrot juice. It really taste good aside of it's many healthy benefits in the human body. I love its sweety taste with milk shake favor.

    • During my tour, to U.S I never heard of this. But, my sister recently visited Philippines, Singapore, Hong-kong, and the Malaysia. She brought a bottle (of course an empty one) and said that she became a fan of this juice and through out her tour she had the opportunity of tasting it. The bottle is nice and simple.

      Are they on the move to export now?
