But if you go to London they have lemon frappacinos which are the best tasting drinks on Earth!

I personally like the plain lemonade, but to each their own. It's just nice to know that there's a reasonable explanation for all this lemonade madness! Thanks for the comment, Anna!

There's no button on the register or recipe for lemonade. The lemonade that is shaken with the tea doesn't taste very good on its own, so we don't want to give it to someone without fair warning. We would just explain it to people and give it to them if they still wanted it, and charge them the same price as the tea. Also - I'm in Michigan, so we're weird here, too =) As a former barista I can tell you why they reacted that way. There’s no button on the register or recipe for lemonade.
