Notes

  • Adjust Sweetness to Taste: Start with less sugar and add more as needed. Every batch of fruit varies in sweetness, so it’s best to taste as you go.
  • Chill Thoroughly: Let the lemonade chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld and makes the drink more refreshing.
  • Serve with Garnishes: Fresh blueberries, lemon slices, and mint sprigs make your drink look beautiful and boost the aroma.
