Notes

  1. Blend the mixture for no more than 5-7 seconds or blitz it at 2-second intervals rather than continuously blending. The more you blend, the more bitter the drink will turn!
  2. Make sure to strain the drink using a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher filled with ice. Serve with a lemon wedge if you’re feeling fancy! You can also squeeze more fresh lemon into the pitcher for an extra kick. 
  3. Serve this Limonada right away – don’t store this as the lemon will get more bitter and alter the taste. 
  4. This recipe makes 4 tall glasses, reduce it or double it to your preference. As this drink can not be stored, I'd recommend making just as much as you need.
