Local Honey Lemonade Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Juicing the Lemons

   Start by rolling the lemons on a clean surface with your palm to help release the juice. Cut the lemons in half and use a juicer or squeeze by hand to extract the juice. You should have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.

2. 2

   Mixing the Ingredients

   In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of local honey. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved in the lemon juice.

3. 3

   Adding Water

   Pour the 4 cups of filtered water into the pitcher with the lemon and honey mixture. Stir until the mixture is well combined. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.

4. 4

   Chill and Serve

   Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes before serving, or serve immediately over ice. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint if desired.
