ANSWER FOR 5TH QUESTION IS .....
ReplyDeleteLemonade History
Lemons are said to have been first found in North India, China and Burma, and was introduced in Persia, Arab countries, Iraq and Egypt in around 700 AD. Lemon was the main ingredient of various dishes and therefore, the beverage would have been introduced in a country where lemons were found. However, the first written evidence of its existence is found in Egyptian writings and so we have a reason to believe that it originated in Egypt. It is said that the peasants there, drank a wine made from lemon, date and honey. Some also believe that it was first introduced in France during the 16th century. In Cairo, lemon drinks were not only favorites among the locals but were also exported during the 13th century.
Today, one can find different types of ready-made lemon drinks in the market. There are three basic types are clear, cloudy and fizzy. The clear variety is made in carbonated soda or in plain water without adding sugar. This used to be a popular beverage in the European countries, however, in recent times, sweet versions are also available. The cloudy variety is a traditional drink made with plain water, lemon and sugar and is mostly found in India, USA and Canada. Fizzy lemon beverage is made of soda, using either natural or artificial lemon flavor and is also referred to as 'sweet carbonated soft drink'.
Pink Lemonade
Another variety is pink lemonade which is popular in the US. It is usually made out of beet juice and is sweeter in taste. There are a few funny stories about the creation of this drink. It is said that few drops of pink dye dripped from a horse rider's tights, at a circus in new Jersey, into the lemonade made by Henry Griffith. As he did not have time to make it again, this was given to the customers and it became a huge hit. Another story says that pink lemonade was introduced by Henry. E. Allot, when he dropped a cinnamon candy in it by mistake. Although we are unsure about the way it was introduced, it is a drink loved by most people. These days, people make this drink by adding natural juices of grapes, cherries, red grapes and strawberries.

ANSWER FOR 6TH IS CORIANDER
A5. The first clear literary evidence of the lemon tree in any language dates from the early tenth-century Arabic work by Qustus al-Rumi in his book on farming. At the end of the twelfth century, Ibn Jami’, the personal physician to the great Muslim leader Saladin, wrote a treatise on the lemon, after which it is mentioned with greater frequency in the Mediterranean.
ReplyDeleteEgyptians of the fourteenth century knew of the lemon. Most peasants drank a date-and-honey wine. Along the Egyptian Mediterranean coast, people drank kashkab, a drink made of fermented barley and mint, rue, black pepper, and citron leaf.It appears that the all-American summer drink, lemonade, may have had its origin in medieval Egypt. Although the lemon originates farther to the east, and lemonade may very well have been invented in one of the eastern countries, the earliest written evidence of lemonade comes from Egypt. The first reference to the lemon in Egypt is in the chronicles of the Persian poet and traveler Nasir-i-Khusraw (1003-1061?), who left a valuable account of life in Egypt under the Fatamid caliph al-Mustansir (1035-1094). The trade in lemon juice was quite considerable by 1104. We know from documents in the Cairo Geniza--records of the medieval Jewish community in Cairo from the tenth through thirteenth centuries--that bottles of lemon juice, qatarmizat, were made with lots of sugar and consumed locally and exported.

5. The lemon, or “citrus limon,” may have originated in northwestern India. It was introduced in Italy around 200 A.D. and was cultivated by the year 700 in Egypt and Iraq. It continued to spread and by the 12th century was widely known and used, being prized for its medicinal value in Egypt and Syria. Lemons started being grown in California and Florida in the 1700s.
ReplyDeleteEgyptians created lemonade more than 1,500 years ago. This popular drink was called “qatarmizat” and was consumed between the 10th and 13th centuries. Toward the end of the 12th century, the physician to the Muslim leader Saladin wrote a treatise on the lemon. In the 14th century, Egyptians drank a wine made from honey, lemons, and dates. Today, lemonade is available in bottles and can be clear, cloudy, or fizzy. Clear is lemon and water, or lemon and carbonated water, made without adding sugar.
