Easy single serving lemonade recipe for the times when you want homemade lemonade but don’t feel like making a whole pitcher!
Have you ever wanted homemade lemonade on a hot day, but didn’t have anyone to share it with and didn’t want a bunch leftover? Just needed enough lemonade to quench your thirst in the moment? Maybe that has only happened to me lol, but if you ever find yourself in this predicament, give this single serving lemonade a try!
It’s very easy to make and only takes about 5 minutes to prep.
It is a little heavy on the sugar (it’s comparable a bottle of lemonade from a vending machine) because I am a fan of sweet lemonade…but that’s all the more reason to just have a single serving!😁
If you prefer a more tart tasting lemonade, you can reduce the sugar a little.
Hope you enjoy!
