Ingredients

  • 6 lemons, juiced
  • 1 cup raw honey
  • 12 cups room temperature water

Instructions

  • Slice lemons in half, then squeeze juice directly into a gallon-sized pitcher.
  • Scoop raw honey into a one-cup measurent tool. Go slowly, and give the raw honey a bit of time to settle; it tends to spread after scooping. Once you have a full cup, add the raw honey to the pitcher.
  • Add the room temperature water to the pitcher, then stir all ingredients together. Leave the pitcher at room tempature for 15-20 minutes, stirring every so often until the honey is completely dissolved and lemonade is a rich golden color.
  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Serve cold.

Notes

*I recommend using only raw honey for this recipe; "regular" honey doesn't taste the same way. I use this brand.
