Notes
Substitutions:
Lemon juice can be replaced with lemon concentrate.
For orange juice, use freshly squeezed or pure orange juice without additives.
Recipe Tips:
Microwaving lemons briefly and rolling them on the counter before slicing can extract more juice.
Make Ahead Instructions:
For advanced preparation, store the lemonade in the fridge without ice and garnishes. Add these closer to serving time to prevent quick ice melting.
