Notes
Lisa’s Tips*This recipe works with both fresh lemon juice and bottled lemon juice. If using fresh lemons, you will need ~10 for 2 cups. * Meyer’s Lemons will be sweeter and juicier so you might not need as many lemons. * You can also use club soda in lieu of some of the water for a sparkling/fizzy lemonade!
