Makweti’s homemade lemon meringue ice cream
Summer in South Africa is all about exploring the great outdoors, soaking up the sunshine (we recommend SPF 30+!), and finding ways to celebrate this glorious season with family and friends.
What better way to cool down on a hot summer day than to indulge in a serving of wickedly-sweet ice cream. At Makweti, our favourite is our homemade lemon meringue flavoured ice cream – a refreshing treat for any time of the day!
