# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The natural strawberry sweetness means you can cut back on sugar without anyone noticing
  • Makes a massive pitcher that disappears faster than you can say seconds please
02 -
  • Warm lemons yield way more juice than cold ones so pop them in the microwave for fifteen seconds before squeezing
  • Sieving the fruit puree separates you from restaurant quality drinks. Don't skip this step even if it takes an extra two minutes
03 -
  • Mix up a double batch of the fruit puree and freeze it in ice cube trays for instant lemonade anytime
  • The pitcher looks stunning layered. Try pouring half the lemonade then adding some sparkling water before topping with the rest
