Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup raw honey
  • 6 cups cold filtered water
  • 2 cups ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Squeeze fresh lemons through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup until you reach 1 cup. If using zest, stir it into the juice to release the aromatic oils.
  2. Pour the lemon juice and honey into a pitcher. Use a whisk or handheld milk frother to blend the two until the honey is completely dissolved and the mixture looks velvety and uniform.
  3. Pour in the cold filtered water and stir briskly for 30 seconds. Taste the mixture and whisk in an additional tablespoon of honey if a sweeter flavor is preferred.
  4. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice.
