Homemade lemonade doesn’t get any easier than this Honey Lemonade! Made in under 10 minutes using just three ingredients, this Lemonade With Honey is the quintessential summer drink that’s cool, crisp, and refreshing.

This lemonade recipe is a standout with the vibrant lemon flavor pairing with earthy honey to make a delicious duo! Since the use of honey eliminates the need for granulated sugar or other refined sugars, this makes for a slightly healthier alternative to traditional lemonade that you can feel good about serving.

Honey Lemonade Recipe Ingredients

• Lemons – I find that this recipe takes about 8 to 10 lemons to make a batch of Honey Lemonade. Be sure to clean the lemons before using them! To clean them, rinse each lemon under running cool water while rubbing away any visible dirt. For a more thorough clean, you can scrub them with a soft bristled vegetable brush. To extract as much juice from your lemons as possible, you can roll them on the counter using your palm with firm pressure to help loosen them up before slicing into them!
• Honey – The overall flavor of this homemade lemonade will depend on the kind of honey that you use. I prefer using a wildflower or fruit blossom honey, such as orange or blackberry!
• Water – Ice cold so you can enjoy a tall glass of Honey Lemonade right away!

How To Make Lemonade With Honey

1. Prepare the Honey Simple Syrup in advance, if possible.
2. Combine cooled homemade honey simple syrup with lemon juice and water in a large pitcher.
3. Stir to combine the ingredients.
4. Serve and enjoy!

How To Serve Lemonade with Honey

Break out your cute glasses and turn this simple lemonade into a super fun summer sip! For an ice-cold experience, you can chill the glasses ahead of time by placing them in the freezer.

Fill the glasses with ice to your desired amount and then pour in the Honey Lemonade. Dress the glasses up by garnishing them with fresh lemon slices or wedges, lemon peel twists, mint, or even wildflowers. If you’d like, you can also use a cocktail pick for fresh berries!
