Instructions
- Step 1: Juice the lemons, making sure to remove any seeds. You should have approximately 1 cup of lemon juice.

Notes
- Store any leftover Creamy Lemonade in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but expect some separation; stir well before serving.
- This drink is best served immediately as the ice will melt if left out, affecting the texture.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint alongside a lemon slice for an extra refreshing presentation.
- For a tangier lemonade, add a splash more lemon juice, but taste as you go to avoid overpowering the sweetness.
