We spent a few months making some preserved lemons and wanted to explore new uses with them and thought yes fermented lemonade, how cool! The key here is to season it to taste as the preserved lemons can be sweet, syrupy, aromatic and salted. If you prefer it to be milder just dilute with more soda water and add more maple syrup until you find it is perfect for you!
