For a smoother lemonade, strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve after juicing to remove the pulp. To infuse your lemonade with extra flavor, add a few sprigs of mint, basil, or rosemary to the pitcher. If you prefer a tarter lemonade, reduce the amount of sugar in the simple syrup. Make a large batch of simple syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for easy lemonade making anytime. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.

Apr 18, 2025I found it a bit too sweet with the full amount of simple syrup, so I reduced it slightly and it was perfect for me.
