Lemonade is a great way to use up lemon juice if you have copious amounts of it. Recipes like lemon bars or even lemon meringue pie don’t use that much when you have 2 cups of it! I had a sack of lemons that needed juicing before they went bad and refreshing lemonade was the way to go.
The key to an excellent lemonade is to use fresh-squeezed lemon juice, not bottled!
