Serves: 1 Small Pitcher
A lower sugar alternative to the traditional pitcher of summer refreshment.
Ingredients
16 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (about 8 lemons)
½ Cup Honey (this is what I recommend, start here and adjust to your preference)
4 TBS Hot Water
32 oz Cold Water
Instructions
Juice your lemons. I used Meyer Lemons which tend to be a little sweeter.
In a small bowl mix your honey + hot water until the honey dissolves and you are left with a honey simple syrup. It’s ok to add more hot water if your honey is particularly thick.
Mix lemon juice, simple syrup and cold water
Serve plain or with one of the following variations
For Strawberry Lemonade
Blend 8-10 fresh or frozen strawberries with 2 TBS Water and 1 TBS honey to make a chunky puree. Add to the bottom of the glass, pour in honey lemonade.
For Iced Tea Lemonade
For a pitcher, brew a 16 oz of double strength iced tea (get as creative as you want with the flavor of your iced tea, or just use plain.) I used 4 black tea bags and steeped them in hot water for 4 minutes. Let the tea cool and mix with lemonade
