Make Lemonade Out of Lemons, Or Make Lemonade Puddin Out of Lemonade

I’ve been diving into all things pudding during this time of covid. I might just be lucky to take some lemonade and my standard dry puddin mix to create this surprise with a lemony, curd quality.

I had a partial bottle of organic lemonade from Trader Joe’s. It was forever in my fridge. It became fair game in my pudding quests. Wow! Spot on! I added extra sweet-sour and turmeric powder for color to make this pudding light up!

WET INGREDIENTS:

• lemonade – 1 1/2 cups
• oat milk – 1/2 cup, or half-n-half or other thick, bodied milk
• rice vinegar – 2 TBS

DRY INGREDIENTS:

• sugar – 2 TBS 
• agar – 1/2 tsp
• salt – 1/8 tsp
• turmeric powder – 1/8 tsp
• corn starch – 3 TBS
• ginger powder – 1/2 ts.

GARNISH: candied ginger

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine the dry ingredients in a small pot
2. Slowly whisk in a half cup of wet ingredients to dissolve the dry mix; then add the rest
3. Bring just to the simmer
4. Whisk into a serving bowl or individual serving cups
5. If adding a topping; carefully display them on top of the pudding
6. Cool to room temperature; then refrigerate for a few hours

Pour into a bowl or individual bowls. Cool to room temperature, then chill .
