Lemonade is a favorite indulgence around our house. Some days I like to switch it up and add a little flavor variation without putting in too much work, or using artificial syrups.
This is my basic lemonade recipe with blackberries added. It can be made with lemon juice from a bottle, but nothing screams the flavor of summer to me like freshly-squeezed lemon juice…..not to mention the aroma it leaves in my house.
Enjoy!
