Instructions
- Juice the lemons. Squeeze fresh lemons until you have 1 cup of juice. Strain out seeds if needed.

Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can taste flat or bitter.
For frozen creamy lemonade, blend the lemon juice, condensed milk, water, and 3 cups of ice until slushy.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day without ice. Stir well before serving.
