Tips
- You can use fresh lemons like I'm doing here or you can also use bottled lemon juice for ease, either works.
- If you are looking for a lower sugar option, you can halve the amount of sugar and water when making the simple syrup.
- For sugar free lemonade, skip the simple syrup and add in organic liquid stevia to taste.
