Notes
- Before squeezing the lemons, roll them firmly on the counter to break down the cells and release more juice.
- Resist the temptation to use bottled lemon juice. Fresh is always best!
- If you have time, make a syrup with the sugar and water to completely dissolve the sugar. Once cool, mix with lemon juice and serve over ice.
- You can infuse other fruits and herbs into the lemonade to give it a unique flavor. Try infusing lilacs, lavender, huckleberries, etc.
- Freeze herbs or lemon slices in ice cubes for an elegant touch.
