Honey Lemonade

Refreshing and naturally sweetened lemonade is just a few minutes away.  This simple drink recipe is a perfect summertime cooler.

Nothing cools you down on a warm day like a cold glass of lemonade.  You can make your own naturally sweetened lemonade in just a matter of minutes with only three ingredients and one of those is water! Honey and lemons are a natural match, so why not turn those lemons into lemonade?!

Did you know I have some beekeepers in my family?  It’s true, I do! My dad and two of my brothers have hives.

In fact, I was just watching them build more hives last weekend.  Bees can be fickle.  They can swarm off, get parasites or the weather can get the best of them.

This winter was pretty harsh, so they were all a little worried about how their hives would handle it.  Luckily they all seem to have made it through and everyone is feeling quite optimistic heading into spring.

So there are wildflower patches to plant and hives to build and honey to look forward to.  Of course, I am secretly hoping some of that honey finds its way my direction!

Last year one of my brothers tried his hand at making honey candy and my mom makes spun honey.  Of course plenty finds its way on to toast and into homemade peanut butter and honey granola.

But this summer I think that golden goodness should be made into more lemonade! This recipe is so easy to make and super refreshing.

It has that depth of flavor that honey can bring and you could easily change that flavor with different honey varieties.  I can imagine it would be wonderful with a citrus blossom honey.

Of course local honey may help you with seasonal allergies a bit too! So go ahead and whip up a batch now.

So get your glass of ice ready and whip up some honey lemonade.  Then kick up your feet and enjoy a bit of sunshine. After the long winter, it will do us all some good!
