I Love the tart and sweetness of lemonade.Lemons can get pretty expensive when they are not in season so I usually make this during the summer when lemons are at a reasonable price. Feel free to garnish with slices of lemons or mint.

Tips:
- Choose the right lemons: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe lemons. Look for lemons that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, unblemished skin.
- Wash your lemons thoroughly: Before juicing your lemons, wash them well under cold running water. This will help to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Use a citrus juicer: A citrus juicer is the best way to extract the juice from your lemons. If you don't have a citrus juicer, you can use a handheld juicer or a fork.
- Strain your lemonade: After juicing your lemons, strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds.
- Sweeten your lemonade to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your lemonade is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Add some flavor: You can add a variety of flavors to your lemonade, such as mint, berries, or ginger. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor.
