Tips:
- Always use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Use filtered or spring water for the best results. Tap water can sometimes have a strange taste that can affect the flavor of the lemonade.
- Sweeten the lemonade to taste. Some people like their lemonade tart, while others like it sweet. Add sugar or honey until you reach the desired sweetness.
- Chill the lemonade before serving. This will make it more refreshing and delicious.
- Garnish the lemonade with a lemon slice or wedge. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
