Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
Every year we go citrus picking loading up on oranges, grapefruits and lemons. We enjoy the fresh juice each day. So delicious. Lemons are great because the juice can be frozen. Having frozen lemon juice on hand is so handy when you want to serve lemonade to your guests. It doesn't take very long to put together (even when it's frozen!) before it's ready to be poured into a glass and enjoyed.
So whether you drink it as you squeeze it or freeze it, it's all amazing. Don't expect lemon juice purchased at the store to give the same results - you must use the actual lemon itself and squeeze it.

Recipe Notes
Don't worry about it if you add all the water at once, it won't affect anything. I just sometimes find it easier to dissolve the sugar with just a small amount of water but I've done it both ways.
