My Perfect Lemonade Recipe

Lemonade is a classic for a hot summer day and with warmer weather coming my way, I wanted to create my perfect lemonade recipe.

I had purchased a few bags of lemons to drink hot water with lemon every morning, which helps with bloating and digestive health. Then, on a particularly warm day, the idea struck me to make lemonade for my dad and brother for when they came back inside from playing basketball. 

I usually don’t work with recipes and I eyeball things, but I wanted to create my perfect lemonade recipe! 

There are countless lemonade recipes online, so after lots of researching and experimenting – I finally came up with my perfect lemonade recipe! Here it is!
