Notes

Your lemonade keeps beautifully in the fridge. Store the base lemonade and syrups separately for the freshest taste. The lemonade stays good for 2–3 days when chilled. Fruit syrups last over a week in an airtight container. Stir before serving because the pulp naturally settles at the bottom.
