Ingredients
  

  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoon dairy-free sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • ⅓ cup water
  • plenty of ice

Instructions
 

  • In a large cup, squeeze out the juice of two lemons. Add the sweetened condensed coconut milk and use a frother to combine the two.
  • Add the water and whisk everything up.
  • This part is optional, but I decided to decorate my glass by combining sugar and lemon zest, glazing the side of each glass in maple syrup, then rolling the glass in the lemon sugar.
  • Add ice into your glass (I split my lemonade into two smaller glasses), then pour the lemonade on top.
  • Enjoy your refreshing drink!

Notes

  • Choose the Best Lemons. When choosing the lemons for this lemonade make sure they are firm to the touch but slightly soft. 
  • More Lemon Flavor: If you are looking for a more aromatic and fuller lemon flavor, room temperature lemons would be the best option for juicing so take them out of the fridge an hour or so before you prepare the lemonade. 
  • Roll Your Lemons: Using the palm of your hand, roll the lemon on the countertop before juicing it to help break down the cell walls and make the fruit juicier.
  • Best Lemon Variety: If you can find Meyer lemons they are known for making the best lemon juice. If you can’t find any, no problem, any type of lemon will taste great. 
  • More Intense Lemon: For a more intense lemon flavor add lemon zest without added tartness.
