# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The heavy cream transforms ordinary lemonade into something that feels luxurious and restaurant quality
  • It takes ten minutes from start to finish, perfect for spontaneous summer gatherings
02 -
  • The cream will curdle if you add it to hot or room temperature lemonade, so make sure both components are thoroughly chilled first
  • This drink is best served immediately because the cream can separate over time, though a quick stir brings it right back together
03 -
  • Roll your lemons firmly on the counter before juicing to break down the internal membranes and extract every drop of juice
  • Make an extra concentrated batch of the lemon base and freeze it in ice cube trays for future quick fixes
