Honey Lemonade Recipe
This lemonade recipe uses honey to sweeten instead of white sugar. Honey has the same amount of calories as sugar, but it does contain micronutrients that make it much healthier than sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 - 2 tablespoons lemon zest, or rind, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 dash salt
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 6 cups cold water
Instructions
- Combine the lemon peel, honey, water and salt in a saucepan. Boil the mixture for 5 minutes. Strain out the peel or remove it with a slotted spoon. Cool the syrup and add the lemon juice.
- Pour the lemon syrup into a 2 quart pitcher or punch bowl and add 6 cups of very cold water. Pour the homemade lemonade over ice in tall glasses.
