Ingredients

For 3 Servings

1/2 cup (120 grams) Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice from about 3 lemons
1/3 cup (105 grams) Honey or to taste*
2 cups (480 grams) Water
Pinch of Salt optional

For 6 Servings

1 cup (240 grams) Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice from about 6 lemons
2/3 cups (210 grams) Honey or to taste*
4 cups (960 grams) Water
Pinch of Salt optional

For Serving

Crushed Ice
Fresh Mint optional for garnish
Lemon Wheels optional for garnish

Instructions

To a blender, add the lemon juice, honey, water and salt if using. Blend on low for about 20-30 seconds or until the mixture is well blended. It will be foamy. Use a spoon to stir the foam down. Taste for sweetness adjustment and blend again if needed.
Pour over iced packed glasses and garnish with mint and thinly sliced lemon wheels (optional). Or, transfer the lemonade to lidded Mason jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

*As written, this is a honey forward lemonade. Feel free to adjust the honey down initially, then add more to taste. For a more tart lemonade, use less honey.
