Notes
- Use freshly-squeezed lemon juice for the best possible taste, bottled lemon juice won't have the same freshness and natural taste.
- Lemons vary in size and acidity, so start by adding less water and taste, you might prefer a stronger or milder lemonade.
- Serve with plenty of ice and lemon slices or mint sprigs for an extra refreshing finish. You can also replace the still water with sparkling water for a sparkling lemonade.
