Tips and tricks for making frozen lemonade:

  • make it easy by using premade lemonade and adding some natural flavors too
  • if you like it really sour, then omit the sugar. Add sugar little by little to get it to the sweetness you prefer
  • using lemon zest is the key to this recipe, but did you know that you can freeze lemon zest? While you are going to the trouble of zesting lemons, freeze some for later
  • don’t forget to use hand juice when squeezing the lemons (I did not in the video below). It will catch the seeds for you for a seedless drink
