Notes
- We like our lemonade nice and tart. For a sweeter lemonade, add up to ¼ more sugar.
- To make juicing the lemons easier, we recommend using room temperature lemons and firmly rolling them around on the counter before juicing. This will help you get the most juice from your lemons!
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Mix with a wooden spoon before serving.
- For a fun summer treat, place the prepared lemonade into popsicle molds and freeze.
