Tips:

  • Choose the right citrus fruits: For the best flavor, use a variety of citrus fruits, such as lemons, oranges, and grapefruits. Meyer lemons are a great option if you can find them, as they have a sweeter flavor than regular lemons.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as mint and basil, add a refreshing flavor to the lemonade. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add to the lemonade is up to you. Taste the lemonade as you go and add more sweetener until it reaches your desired sweetness.
  • Chill the lemonade before serving: Chilled lemonade is more refreshing than warm lemonade. You can chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight, or you can place it in a cooler with ice.
  • Garnish with citrus slices or herbs: When you serve the lemonade, garnish it with citrus slices or fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the drink.

Conclusion:

Grilled Citrus Spiked Lemonade is a refreshing and flavorful summer drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a refreshing drink, give Grilled Citrus Spiked Lemonade a try. You won't be disappointed!
