Notes
Notes
-
- Skip Juicing the Lemons. Using a high-speed blender allows you to simply peel them and throw them in whole.
-
- Plan to Hand Juice. If you would rather juice your lemons than blend them, increase the amount of lemons to six.
-
- Storing. Keep it in an airtight container and it will last about 2 weeks in your fridge. You can also freeze homemade lemonade in your freezer for about 3 months.
- Adjust the Flavor. Want a lighter or a sweeter flavor? You can add a bit of water for a lighter flavor or add more simple syrup for a sweeter flavor.
