Hi everyone! if you see spam content, you can report it by hitting the three dots and reporting as spam. I've seen this Axxl guy on quite a few channels :)

@@hv9988 I have seen this moron in many comment sections as well, always with the same exact comment, just reported for spam...

HV Whoa, what did I miss? He seems to have gone bye-bye.

@@zombiTrout nothing important. There's a troll user who tends to reply to top comments in popular RU-vidrs videos. If multiple people report the user for spam, the comments eventually get removed. This particular user makes nonsense comments about having 2 girlfriends and always mentions their "RU-vid channel" and the nonsense comment is never on theme of the comment they replied to. Usually when he comments people get angry and leave comments towards him vs the actually interesting original commenter, which drives up interest in the troll. I'm assuming it's a purposeful tactic to drive people to see what his troll channel is about. The best way to deal with trolls just report them, don't engage, and thus everyone loses interest/and you save others the frustration.

I can't watch this video in one go because that is so annoying.

He’s being doing this for a while. In his videos. I can’t figure out why. His older videos. Weren’t like this. But then one day. He decided. To start talking. In a weird cadence. Making it hard to watch. Despite the good recipes.

@@alextube9639 im glad im not alone i kinda feel bad but im amazed at how angry it start to make me

Pro Tip: Shut up.

What exactly makes this a “pro tip”?

Tell me more about this pro tip ?

@@meowtx9031 begone bot

Pro tip LMAO

My feelings exactly. It's not a recipe for a dish most people never heard of, and this one improves life immediately.

GREAT IDEA!

Not if it has sugar in it, it wont freeze solid. But just lemon juice with plain water would freeze rather solid and that you could use for ice cubes so you don't dilute the rest of your lemonade.

@@moonbear5929 not true, it will freeze fine. I've done it.

@@moonbear5929 Anything with sugar in would freeze fine, it's alcohol that wont freeze solid

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4zf1uVY7mXI.html I also add less water so the ice cubes don’t water it down

The function of dish soap is to strip and remove oils, the ingredient that you're trying to extract from this process. Just use hot water and elbow grease.

@@ThatIsDopeBro what about using a vinegar solution spray? I've read that is a good alternative to commercial fruit/veg cleaning sprays

@@ThatIsDopeBro it's not that big of a deal

Don't use soap. Don't be dumb

soap on fruit?? y not just use water and baking soda to remove wax.

How much sugar did you use

he probably used 144 grams@@JoeMoore413

I haven't tried that, but sounds right.

I love putting a pinch of salt in sweet things and vis versa it really brings it together

Doesn't surprise me, there's a reason sweet desserts always call for some salt, it makes sweet tasting things even sweeter. Unsure of the exact mechanism of why but it definitely does.

@@K2142F I've read that salt drags out the taste. Maybe that's it.

yhunata as far as I’m aware it’s a brain chemistry thing. Seeing how salts are such an essential part of any diet the body has adapted to detect and reward you for eating things containing it. Same with sugary things. And certain combinations multiply that brain activity. For example salty sweets

Chef John makes our lives better

Me too! I can finally have my lemonade to go with my foot-long corn dog at home!

Your channel name doesn't translate well to a certain asian language! :D

*and a glass of it won't cost $5.00 either....bonus*

Are you still poor?

@@justicedemocrat9357 i consider myself poor because I have to pay rent and life struggle sometimes, but nothing compared as a kid, unlist now I can afford to eat what I want specifically fizzy drink if I fancy 😂. No more bicarbonate of soda in lemonade though 🤣.

*Oleo saccharum

The $80 to copyright that will be worth it ... actually you should trademark it also ... and that's pretty damn expensive , averaging about $1,000 , sometimes $1,200 depending on where you live . Believe me , that is a WINNING slogan . i used to do PR and international marketing , and have a nose for that kind of thing .

Oliosacrum=greaseback?

loving it!!!

@@whette_fahrtz Got Google that!!✌😂🇨🇦💖

@humandxp I know some Vietnamese throw a splash of their fermented fish sauce into their lime-based lemonades. That's mostly salt + MSG, with no fishy flavor if used sparingly.

Was it tart?

Yeah I like to dilute it just a tad bit more than the recipe.

@@Voeris1 that was my experience, I added a little extra water. I also lived mixing it with some sweet tea, VERY yummy. Using it with LOTS of ice, which melted into it, makes it so good too !

@@GrandmaGiggles Yeah the ice melting is key for me. 😊 If don't have ice, I make sure to make some before having the lemonade. Another thing I just really like is sprinking some Tajin chili powder on top. If you haven't tried it, highly suggested!! ;) There is something about the lemonade and the ice and the tajin sprinkled on the ice and swirling around that's just... oof getting thirsty just thinking about it! lol

Sugar makes us special. Rardy har har har.

Is this the way?

@@linessia no!

@@anikejulien7273 Make a simple syrup (1:1 or 2:1, it doesn't matter) juice a high quality lemon, strain the pulp and seeds. Mix the sugar and lemon juice together. Balance the sweetness and acidity (this is the part that requires skill), then dilute it with water. Chill and serve.

@@josefk5659 Without using any peel? I am not convinced it would taste better than this recipe.

@@TheOfficalAndI no peel. Certainly not the pith. The white part is very bitter and unpleasant tasting. Don’t believe me? Cut off the white part with no skin and taste it.

And then he said words to live by

T-shirt call-out!

He should have made ice cubes from the lemonade. So not to dilute it at all

made my day !

YES! I use meyer lemons for this!!

I did this exact thing with blood oranges for cocktails. -1 cup sugar -1 cup water -zest of 2 blood oranges -juice of 3 blood oranges Put it all on the stove until it heats through and the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, strain, and chill. So good, and the color makes really pretty cocktails.

@@steiger6790 This is such a good idea that I'm going to use your recipe for a blood orange take on Whiskey Sours! Juice of one lemon Juice of half a blood orange Two shots rye whiskey One shot blood orange simple syrup One egg white Dry shake, then shake with ice, drain and serve.

Don't forget to garnish with an orange wheel!

@@brocklanders6172 I do a very similar thing but substitute the whiskey for gin. Really good.

Me too. But lemonade is my absolute favorite drink, plus it's Chef John, so I watched it anyway. So glad I did and I can't wait to try it.

Me too

I have NEVER seen a lemonade recipe suggest doing this and it makes ALL the difference!!

Thanks for the tips! Do you think coconut sugar would work?

@@Mrs.GrayMan I used regular sugar. But you can always test it out on a serving with 1 lemon.

bitterness comes from the white part of the rind try to get as little of the white part as you can, you only want the yellow parts white parts are always bitter.

How much sugar is added?

@@SassyLane01 You can follow the recipe that Chef john links in the description box.

Mine too!

Yeah its kinda annoying....

I cant stand that I mute all his videos

I thought I was alone on this glad to know I’m not crazy

Oh yeah that's what that is

Bugs the hell out of me too.

SACCHARUM. Ooliosacrum is butt oil.

@@tomf3150 Oh crap. I mean, I am using pork butt, but that's not actually from there. Guess I gotta poop into a bowl of sugar now to extract the flavor.

1) Your sense of humour and ability to laugh at yourself is so refreshing. 2) Thank you for the inspiration of trying this with grapefruit peel!

How did it turn out? Did the peels make a difference?

I am doing this right now. My lime sugar has not turned oily yet, so I am going to check on it tomorrow morning.

@@88michaelandersen how did it turn out?

@@PresidentFunnyValentine it worked really well. My sugar never got as oily as the sugar in the video, and it was a little sweeter than I would have liked, but it was really good. If I did it again I'd go down to a cup of sugar, 18 limes, and 5 cups of water.

why your epfp mario minecraft bruh

The funny thing is, if you've ever heard him interviewed, there he speaks in the more usual Homo sapien monotone. No verbal roller coasters.

🤣🤣🤣💯‼

He is from New York I believe, but moved to California?

@@mousepudding well, whatever, I LIKE his voice!! :D

it makes the recording easier, he used to speak normally in his vids

Was it sour?

@@GrandmaGiggles No, it was rich with flavor. Not too sweet, not sour. The trick is the sugar pulling out the lemon oils from the zest. I just made a batch for a summer treat. It is so amazingly fragrant.

@@GrandmaGiggles I did the same with limes. The limes have a more bitter taste, but it was still amazing. I did prefer the lemons over the limes.

@@nb4749 tnx 4 the advice 👍😊got 6 lemons today.... Just thought about doing the peels and sugar and letting them sit overnight. 😀

@@nb4749 I let my zest soak over night. 👍🙂 And when I juiced my lemons, they gave off a LOT of juice (about 1 2/3 cups) ! So, mine was a tiny bit sour and REALLY strong! I love it though! And as the ice melts it gets better. I have to tell you to try it mixed half & half with sweet tea (I had Arizona brand) SOoooo freakin' good!! 👏👏👏👏 Next time, I'll use 5.5 c. Water or even 6 IF my lemons are as big & juicy as these were. I also will use 1.5 c sugar instead of 1.25c. GREAT RECIPE!

How'd it go?

@@jm3430 I leave the peels in until it’s cold. I like it a touch on the bitter side. Literally the best lemonade ever.

Hahaha, damned pandemic, 04:03 AM pandemic time here, just sugared my peels.

@@Yattayatta I peeled my lemons at 330 am lol

lo, me too

This lemonade pairs well with a Reuben sandwich.

Napoleon bonbons still exists. Maybe you can get them through world of sweets or even amazon. I love the apple ones 😍

I was just thinking the same thing.

Horrible here in Dallas also

**Cries in British**

You get used to it

He added truly the littlest bit of cayenne. (None)

"Just because" 🎶🎵😉

Twas no longer obligatory this time 😏

Yeah ... great idea , i'll be trying that also .

how to do that ? just double the lemons, but half the water ? i want to have the concentrate ready in the fridge. lol it can be a base for all the lemonade recipe on the net.

@@RogerLiem If I had to guess, when you're making the oleo-saccharum, add it to just enough water to loosen it up into a simple syrup, then add the lemon juice when it cools. Or add lemon juice separately and mix before adding the seltzer! Not sure what the proportions on that would be per-glass though

@@rickpgriffin noted. Thanks so much

@@RogerLiem From Martha Stewart Lemon simple syrup Ingredients: 2 cups sugar Zest of one lemon 3/4 cup lemon juice 2 cups water Heat sugar, zest, and 2 cups water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil. Pour through a fine sieve into a medium bowl; discard solids. Let cool completely. Stir in lemon juice. So the difference between chef John's recipe and simple syrup is the amount of zest, and amount of water. Plus letting the sugar/zest rest before heating with the water.

Noice!

You changed his recipe so why are you thanking him?

@@TheBeefTrain it just a lemonade not rocket science.

I remember how pissed of that made some people visiting the uk lol

@@towo7100 yeah, anything with -ade on the end of it is usually fizzy here in the UK. We don't say orange soda for example, it's orangeade, same with cherryade etc.

@@towo7100 what you call lemonade is generally sold as cloudy lemonade here in the UK as well, and it's still fizzy.

Paul Honey yeah you’re right it’s always fizzy

Thats why we kicked your asses out

I was thinking, just add some vodka or bourbon that lemon sugar mixture.

Effin Cucumber Vodka, Mint and Lemonade is a very good cocktail.

Vodka...Fantastic idea :)

Try a little Cointreau or Triple Sec

@@brex5339 Limoncello!

I'm not much of a whiz in the kitchen and I hardly ever bake anything. But Chef John's videos make everything look so easy - so I actually made his banana bread recipe. I was so inspired that I went and bought a loaf pan just so I could make it! He has a lovely personality and I really could listen to his pleasant voice all day long. Thank you, Chef John - from the bottom of my heart, also. :D

That would be fun to see :)

No, that show on food network was done to DEATH

Thats neat of you to put the recipe here, but part of chef johns revenue is from people visiting his website for the recipe, just fyi

Thank you so much❣️

julien astier no thanks!!

@@Toohot2handle758 ?

@@jackismname Who does that? I always just go to his recipe's on allrecipes that way it's all contained in the same place.

How do you hold your lemons 🤣

Ooh! I need to get a bottle of Limoncello!!!

It's a vibe, have a nice day

Same!!! 👊

It’s all downhill from there, my friend.

Not quite, you haven't yet tasted the lemonade!
