Whip up a batch of this delightful Honey Lemonade, a healthy twist on classic lemonade made with honey and fresh lemon juice. No refined sugars here!

Prepare the 1 to 1½ cups Honey Simple Syrup in advance if possible. To do this, add ¾ cup honey and ¾ cup water to a small saucepan and heat until the honey has dissolved. This will help it mix in better.
Add 1 cup of the simple syrup, 1 cup lemon juice, and 4 cups water to a pitcher and stir to combine. Add up to the remaining ½ cup of honey simple syrup to reach the desired balance of tart and sweet.
Serve in glasses over ice and garnish with lemon slices and mint or wildflowers.

The kind of honey you use will impact the overall flavor. I personally recommend a wildflower or fruit blossom honey, such as orange or blackberry.
Nutritional information is an estimate based on 6 servings and 1.5 cups of honey simple syrup.
