Honey Lemonade

Honey Lemonade, a healthy and refreshing summer drink that is super quick and easy to make. Honey, lemons and water is all you need to make this super drink, there is absolutely no need for refined sugar.

Lemons are a great source of vitamin C, which is known to boost the immune system, amongst many other health benefits. And honey has been known for centuries for having an excellent medicinal value. Do not spoil the magical power of the lemonade by adding refined sugar, honey is the best alternative possible.

I like to drink this lemonade at room temperature, but, of course, it is also great ice-cold or hot. A healthy, hydrating, refreshing and delicious drink that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Summer or winter time, this drink is all you need. No nasty chemicals, no sugar-loaded store-bough juices, just the nature's goodness in one glass.

HOW TO MAKE HONEY-SWEETENED LEMONADE

There is hardly any prep involved here, this delicious lemonade is ready in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail.

• in a jug, add the lemon and hot water, and mix well

NOTE! Honey won't dissolve well in cold water, that's why is crucial to add hot water to it first, before mixing the other ingredients.

• add the lemon juice and, give it a good stir, then fill the jug up with water and add slices of lemon to it
• refrigerate until ready to use

And that's it! For more of a summer touch, why not try this delicious Watermelon Mint Lemonade?
