What if I could recreate that thrill again, this time, with my very own fun twist?

I head to the kitchen to gather all the ingredients from my Lemonade Ingredients list. I make sure I have fresh lemons, sugar, water, and any other flavorings I want to use. Freshness is key!

The Ice Cooler is filled with ice to keep my lemonade nice and cold. It’s crucial for keeping customers happy on a hot day!

I put some Straws next to the cups and place Towels on hand to wipe any spills. It’s all about being organized and ready!
Step 11: Decorate with Banners and Flags
