Watermelon Strawberry Lemonade Recipe
This watermelon strawberry lemonade recipe starts with fresh-squeezed lemons. In fact, that's what makes homemade lemonade so very good. Here are some tips on how to juice your lemons.
How to juice lemons for lemonade
In order to get the most juice from your lemons, you are going to want to make sure your lemons are at room temperature. If you have had them in the refrigerator, you can put them in the microwave for a few seconds.
Before cutting your lemon, roll it around on the counter with medium pressure back and forth to loosen the juice up a bit.
If you want to use lemon zest for any future recipes, it's best to zest them before you cut them to juice them. You can save the zest in a small tupperware. It will freeze for up to a few months.
I use this to juice my lemons but I've had my eye on this. If you have a lot of citrus that you juice, this would be your best option.
