Raw Honey Lemonade

Nothin' says summer, like lemonade! Since I prefer to avoid refined sugars, I have been making my lemonade for years, with my FAV sweeteners... raw honey! Raw honey isn't like other sugars, as many people think. It is rich in antibiotic, antiviral, anti fungal properties, and is full of nutrients and enzymes. Raw honey is a gift to our health, from those hard working bees.


Raw Honey Lemonade

1 C lemon juice
1 C raw honey
6 C filtered water

Blend the honey and lemon juice in the blender. This will allow the honey to render to a thinner liquid that can easily be mixed with the water. Add honey/lemon mixture to a 2 quart pitcher, and add the 6 cups of water, and mix well. Pour over ice!

*I used organic lemon juice, that I bought at Costco. Fresh squeezed is of course, more tasty! Juice 5-6 lemons to make approx. 1 cup of juice. I love to add some zest too, (only if using organic lemons) to punch up the flavor!  Also, if you fresh squeeze the lemons, this would be considered a "raw" drink. For you "raw foodies".

*You could add a tsp. of sea salt to the pitcher of lemonade, to create your own electrolyte drink! Never pay big bucks for those artificially colored, artificially flavored, and corn syrup sweetened, crappy, toxic, over-advertised sports drinks again!! (Can you tell I am not a fan...) Again, pour over ice, OR mix 1 part lemonade to 1 part cold water for your to-go bottle

.One sip of this, and there is no goin' back to the powdered mixes, or canned concentrate stuff! This is summer in a glass, with a big dose of HEALTHY!


Yours in health!
