  • Adjust sweetness to your preference: The amount of honey or sugar you add is entirely up to your taste. Start with a small amount and gradually adjust until you achieve the desired sweetness.
  • Grate the lemon zest: To enhance the citrus flavor in your hot lemonade, grate the zest of one lemon before squeezing the juice. This will release aromatic oils that add depth and complexity to the drink.
