  • Use a citrus juicer: A citrus juicer will make it quick and easy to extract the juice from your limes and lemons. If you don't have a citrus juicer, you can also use a fork or your hands to squeeze the juice out.
  • Add sugar or honey to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add to your lemonade is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Chill your lemonade before serving: Chilled lemonade is more refreshing and enjoyable to drink. You can chill your lemonade in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, or you can add ice cubes to each glass.
  • Garnish your lemonade with a slice of lime or lemon: A garnish of lime or lemon adds a pop of color and flavor to your lemonade. It also makes your lemonade look more appealing.
