  • Activated charcoal may interact with certain medications; consult medicinal advice if necessary.
  • For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar quantity to 3/4 cup or to taste.
  • Soda water must be added just before serving to maintain fizz.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor and brightness.
  • Keep the lemonade chilled before adding soda water for optimal refreshment.
