Tips for Juicing Lemons-
Choose fresh, ripe lemons for maximum juice yield and best flavor
Roll the lemons firmly on the countertop before cutting them in half to help release the juice from the pulp
Use a citrus juicer (either manual or electric) to speed up the process and make it easier on your hands
While this lemonade is simply delicious you can make different varations
Adjustments and varations-
Berry delicious - add 2 tablespoons strawberry extract and 7 fresh strawberries, halved (can use frozen strawberries as well)
Oh so peachy - add 2 tablespoons peach extract and 1 peach, sliced (can use can peaches as well)
Pooh's Fun Facts:
When life gives you lemons, make refreshing and delicious lemonade!
We had a lemon tree in our backyard when I was a little girl and my granny had us picking lemons all the time. She would squeeze up those lemons (she did this by hand) and add some sugar and water to a pitcher and hours later a delicious drink is served up oh so sweet and right on time for a hot summer day.
