Frozen lemonade concentrate

Frozen lemonade concentrate is a liquid and refreshing ingredient obtained by freezing and concentrating the traditional mixture of lemon juice, water, and sugar. This concentrate is commonly used in the preparation of beverages and desserts to provide an intense, characteristic citrus lemon flavor, while also facilitating its preservation and transport.

Its origin is linked to the need to preserve the fresh taste of lemonade in countries with warm climates, making it popular in various cuisines across Latin America and the United States. This concentrate allows for the quick and practical preparation of lemonades and other recipes, maintaining the balance between acidity and sweetness.

Among its properties, its high concentration of citric acid and vitamin C stands out, which adds freshness and an antioxidant touch to culinary preparations. Furthermore, being frozen helps maintain the product's freshness and extends its shelf life without losing flavor.

In the Hispanic American context, this ingredient may also be known as frozen lemon juice, concentrated lemon juice, or simply lemonade concentrate. It is ideal for preparing cold drinks, desserts, marinades, and sauces where an intense, natural citrus flavor is desired.
