  • Garnish for Presentation: Enhance the visual appeal of your lemonade by adding garnishes such as lemon slices, mint sprigs, or edible flowers. These garnishes contribute to a refreshing presentation and elevate the overall experience.
  • Experiment with Variations: Feel free to experiment with different variations of the lemonade recipe. Consider adding other citrus fruits like oranges or grapefruit for a unique flavor profile. You could also incorporate herbs like basil or rosemary for an unexpected twist.
