At the cost of about £1 to make a litre of fresh Lemonade with no preservatives; one should be encouraged to visit their local grocer/ supermarket for some unwaxed fresh Lemons, asap. 




The perfect Lemons for this recipe should be a mixture of a smooth and thin skin ones (perfect for juicing) and a knobbly skin one for zesting.
