When Lemon is not enough…
Some things sound so foreign until you try them out! Lemonade seems to fall in that category. Who would have thought that Lemonade was just a mix of some ripe mangoes, ginger, suagr and lemon juice in water! Ok, that’s a bit complex but it’s quite refreshing and hydrating, you should try.
