Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh lemons
- 0.5 cups Raw honey
- 1 cups Warm water
- 5 cups Cold water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Roll each lemon on the countertop under the palm of your hand to loosen the juices, then cut them in half and juice them into a measuring cup until you have about 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice (roughly 4 lemons). Strain out any seeds but leave some pulp if desired.
In a small mixing bowl or pitcher, combine raw honey and 1 cup of warm water. Stir vigorously until the honey is fully dissolved to create a honey syrup.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey syrup, and 5 cups of cold water. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired by adding more honey or lemon juice.
Add the ice cubes directly to the pitcher or to individual serving glasses right before serving to chill the drink.
If desired, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lemon for an extra burst of flavor and presentation.
