- You can soak little sabja seeds for 15 mins and add this to the fresh lemonade while serving.
Notes
1. Never add lemon juice when the syrup is hot or warm.
2. Do not squeeze out too much juice from the lemon. This will give a bitter taste to the lemonade.
3. This Homemade lemon syrup if properly handled will stay good in the refrigerator for 2 months
