Lemonade with lemon zest is a refreshing and tangy beverage perfect for hot summer days or any time you need a citrusy pick-me-up. This recipe combines the tartness of fresh lemons with a hint of sweet and aromatic lemon zest, making it a delightful drink for all ages.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, let the lemon zest steep in the sugar and water mixture for a few extra minutes before adding the lemon juice.
- Use fresh lemons instead of bottled lemon juice for the best taste and maximum vitamin C content.
- If you prefer a less sweet lemonade, start with half the amount of sugar and adjust to your taste.
- Serve the lemonade over ice and garnish with lemon slices or mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
- To make a sparkling version, substitute half of the water with sparkling water or club soda.
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Enjoy your delicious homemade lemonade with lemon zest! It's a simple yet invigorating drink that can be easily customized to your taste. Whether you're sipping it by the pool or serving it at a gathering, this lemonade is sure to be a hit with everyone. Cheers to a refreshing treat!
