Tips:

  • Select ripe oranges and lemons: The quality of the citrus fruits used will greatly influence the taste of your lemonade. Choose oranges and lemons that are heavy for their size, have smooth skin, and are free of blemishes.
  • Use a citrus juicer: A citrus juicer will make juicing the oranges and lemons much easier and more efficient. If you don't have a citrus juicer, you can use a regular juicer or even a blender, but you may need to strain the juice to remove any pulp.
  • Add sugar or honey to taste: The amount of sweetener you add will depend on how tart you like your lemonade. If you prefer a sweeter lemonade, start with 1/2 cup of sugar or honey and adjust to taste. You can also use a sugar-free sweetener if you prefer.
  • Chill the lemonade before serving: Chilling the lemonade will make it even more refreshing. You can chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or you can place it in the freezer for a slushy consistency.
  • Garnish with citrus slices or mint: Adding a garnish to your lemonade will make it look and taste even more special. Try garnishing with orange or lemon slices, mint leaves, or even a sprig of rosemary.
