Recipe tips
Tip #1 Changing the flavor
Although this recipe calls for ⅓ cup of maple syrup and ½ cup of lemon juice, you can change this ratio to achieve your desired sweetness or tartness.
To have a more concentrated lemonade, feel free to use less water. For a sweeter lemonade, add more maple syrup. For a more tart lemonade, add more lemon juice.
Tip #2 Make Extra Into Ice Cubes
If you’re serving this at a barbecue or other party, I recommended making extra lemonade and freezing it in ice cube trays. Having ice cubes with the same flavor will ensure this beverage stays flavorful and cool throughout the event.
Tip #3 Use Real Maple Syrup
To give your lemonade a few extra health benefits like antioxidants, vitamins and minerals it’s best to use local maple syrup. Knowing the source of your maple syrup is great for ensuring the quality of your food and avoiding any counterfeit maple syrup.
