Expert Tips
- This strawberry lemonade will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days.
- I recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice, but you can use bottled lemon juice if you'd prefer.
- When I make up a batch of fresh squeezed lemonade, I rarely add sugar. I use honey instead. The honey mixes easily with water and gives lemonade the perfect amount of sweetness.
