For a more complex flavor, try using a combination of different citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, and oranges. Infuse the lemonade with herbs like rosemary or thyme for a unique twist. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Some people prefer a tarter lemonade, while others prefer it sweeter. For a sparkling lemonade, use sparkling water or club soda instead of still water. Make a large batch of lemonade concentrate and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. When ready to serve, simply dilute the concentrate with water to your desired strength.
