All You Need To Know About Fresh Lemons Incredible Frozen Lemonade starts with fresh squeezed Lemons. Yes, fresh. Not the bottled stuff, so here is all you need to know. How to Pick Lemons: It can seem complicated, but when you know what to look for, you'll be an expert. Look for lemons that seem heavy when you hold it in your hands. Also look for thin skin, that is firm and has a fine texture to the peel. It should be a deep yellow color. The heavier the fruit and thinner the skin the more juice it will have. Where should I store Lemons? It is so tempting to decorate your counter with  fresh fruit in a pretty bowl. Just leave the lemons out. If left at room temperature the skins can become tough and the lemons can actually dry out. Keep your lemons in the fridge. Juicing Tip: Cut and quarter your lemons and then microwave them for about 30 seconds. This helps the lemons release more of its juice. Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of lemons? I would say if you weren't making lemonade, yes you could. But for the best tasting and refreshing lemonade, use fresh lemons. It just won't be the same otherwise. Intensify the Flavor: Add the zest of one lemon to the mixture before adding the ice cream for even more of that citrus flavor without adding too much more zing. Easy Chick Fil A Frosted Lemonade Tips and Variations This is one of the simplest recipes you can make, that being said here are some ways to make it perfect! Blender: Because everything is essentially a liquid for this refreshing drink, you do not have to have a fancy blender. Even an immersion blender will work. Just blend till desired consistency. Sugar: Make sure the sugar is dissolved as much as possible before adding the ice cream for a creamy texture. Lemonade: Out of lemons, you can use already made lemonade. You will need 2 cups of lemonade for this recipe instead of the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and water. I highly recommend using a good-quality, all-natural lemonade. Ice Cream: I love using ice cream full of ingredients I can pronounce and nothing artificial if I can help it. If you need a dairy alternative or something different, go for it! The taste and texture might be a bit different, but should still be amazing. Add-ins: Vary this refreshing lemonade by adding in frozen berries, peaches, or other fruit of choice. Mix it Up: Use Chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla, or use orange juice and reduce or omit the sugar. For extra zip use lime juice instead of lemons for a frozen limeade. How to Store Frozen Lemonade This is best served immediately, but you can make it a few hours beforehand. Blend and place in the freezer. When ready to use, let it thaw a bit or blend it again by adding extra ice cream or water as needed for desired consistency.
