Homemade Single-Serve Lemonade
Homemade single-serve lemonade means no excuses to make lemonade now. Either when you are just craving some or need it for a cocktail. Can’t tell you how many times I have passed on making a particular cocktail like a Kentucky Peach Vodka Cocktail because I did not have lemonade on hand. Well…… not anymore.
I can’t imagine I would ever run out of sugar but if I did no problem. Try this lemonade recipe made using honey Honey Lemonade – Texanerin Baking.
It’s nice to know I can enjoy a glass of homemade single-serve lemonade anytime I want one. I almost always have lemons in the fridge but if I did not, I always have fresh lemon juice in the freezer.
Lemonade is a blank canvas which means you can add your favorite flavors. I love to grab whatever fresh fruit is on sale when I go to the grocery store. Then just throw your fruit into a food processor or blender and add it to your lemonade.
In the US we make our lemonade with a sweetener, water and lemon juice. Doing some research, I found that the US version is referred to as a cloudy lemonade. In the UK, Ireland and Australia they use carbonated water. That sounds good to me.
