Question
How much water should I put in?
Community Answer
It's best to go by taste. Start by filling the glass with water almost to the top. If the lemonade still tastes too sour or sugary, add more water.

Question
What gives the lemonade its sweet flavor?
Community Answer
The lemon/lime itself has a small quantity of sweetness contained in it. When we add the sugar, we get a very nice sweet lemonade.

To avoid getting seeds in your lemonade while squeezing the lemon halves, poke holes in aluminum foil and place it over the lemon before squeezing. The foil will catch the seeds.
If you want a cold lemonade quickly, add some ice cubes to the water before mixing in the lemonade concentrate. The ice will melt and chill the lemonade in seconds.
Use less sugar for a healthier lemonade. Start with half the sugar called for in the recipe, then adjust to taste. The lemonade will still be sweet!
Customize your lemonade by using other fruit juices instead of lemon juice. Try lime, grapefruit, cranberry or pomegranate juice.
For a refreshing twist, add a splash of pineapple or orange juice when dissolving the sugar to make a fruit-flavored lemonade.
Add a pinch of salt after dissolving the sugar for a subtle flavor enhancement. The salt balances and lifts the other flavors.
