Notes
Avoid making this lemonade recipe too far in advance so it stays nice and bubbly.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice rather than bottled lemon juice for the best flavor.
Swap the sugar with any sweetener you prefer! Just avoid dark sugars or sweeteners which may affect the color of the lemonade.
Serve chilled or over ice for the most thirst-quenching flavor.
Add sliced strawberries and lemon slices to the pitcher or glasses for a lovely presentation!
