Tips

The key to really good homemade lemonade is lemon zest.
Rub lemon zest and sugar together before making the syrup to release essential oils and boost flavor.
If you like really tangy lemonade, you can add up to an additional 1/2 cup of lemon juice.
If cucumbers are not blending, add in 2 tbsp water to help.
