Recipe FAQs
Homemade lemonade can be refrigerated and stored for about 3 to 5 days. It tends to lose a little flavor after the first day, so it’s best to consume it as fresh as possible.
Add a splash of sparkling water or club soda to each glass for a fizzy lemonade.
I would not recommend using bottled lemon juice, if you do not have fresh lemon juice, use a lemonade concentrate. I find bottled lemon juice to be bitter.
