Lemon juice is added in drops to crushed sugar spread on a marble slab until the sugar is saturated. The mixture is then left to dry, and the process is repeated three more times. In this dehydrated form, the flavoured sugar was carried by travellers who dissolved it in water to make a refreshing drink, the first documented lemon-flavoured ‘Kool-Aid’ in the history of beverages!
