Tips for Making the Best Lemonade

Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons will give your lemonade the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic lemons.
Choose the right lemons: Look for lemons that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, shiny skin. Avoid lemons that are bruised or have blemishes.
Zest the lemons before juicing them: Zesting the lemons will release their essential oils and give your lemonade a more intense flavor.
Use filtered or spring water: Filtered or spring water will make your lemonade taste better than tap water.
Add sugar or honey to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add to your lemonade is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Chill your lemonade before serving: Chilled lemonade is more refreshing than warm lemonade. You can chill your lemonade in the refrigerator or freezer.
