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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired by adding more honey or lemon juice.

Step 5

Add the ice cubes directly to the pitcher or to individual serving glasses right before serving to chill the drink.

Step 6

If desired, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lemon for an extra burst of flavor and presentation.
