Notes
Servings: 7 - 8 ounce servings
Storage:
- To Store: You can store the lemonade in the refrigerator until you are ready to add the ice cream. It is intended to be consumed immediately when the ice cream is added.
- Make sure that the water is VERY cold. You can add ice cubes to the water first, let it sit for a few minutes, then remove the ice cubes before adding the water to the blender.
- I like to chill my glasses in the freezer before serving. Pouring the lemonade into a frosty glass will keep it cooler for longer.
- You can stock up on fresh lemons when they are on sale at the store. Juice them and freeze the freshly squeezed lemon juice in ice cube trays so that you always have lemon juice on hand.
