Is it difficult to make lemonade from scratch?

No! It’s easy to make lemonade from scratch. The store mixes are easy and quick but they’re also full of all kinds of additives you cannot control. You can use the sweetener of your choice when you make fresh strawberry lemonade from scratch.

This lemon juice lemonade recipe is another quick and easy way to enjoy a refreshing drink at home. It’s a simple three-ingredient recipe.

I usually use regular sugar but you can also use honey, agave syrup, stevia, or any type of artificial sweetener! If you are on Keto you can use the swerve sweeteners which work great and are low carb. Make sure to use a conversion chart on the bag or you can use this link to figure out how to adjust from sugar to other options.

Sugar and other sweeteners will not be a 1:1 swap in some cases and you should always add less and work your way up…it’s easier to make it sweeter than it is to make it less sweet!!

I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are great for all kinds of baking and not just cookies! My husband loves them for making biscuits, pizzas, and more!

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!
