Fresh lemonade can make you feel the sun's rays on your face even on a cloudy day!
This homemade version is so good you may need to make a double batch! It goes great in hot tea as well, so give your immune system a boost with vitamin C and raw honey that will make you say "Aaah"!
Thinly slice 4 lemons that have been thoroughly washed and dried.
Remove any seeds from slices.
Sterilize a mason jar or glass jar with a lid by placing it in a pan with hot (not boiling) water that covers the jar.
Bring water to a boil for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the jar from the water and let cool.
Place lemon slices into the clean, cooled mason jar.
Slowly pour 8-10 ounces of raw honey over lemon slices, pausing to give it time to seep down into the jar.
Make sure the lemons are covered with honey, you may need to slide a knife down the side of the jar to get out air bubbles.
Continue to pour more honey over lemons if needed.
Store with an airtight lid in the refrigerator overnight to allow the juices of the lemons and honey to mix.
If honey settles at the bottom of the jar, just flip it over with lid secure and let juices mix again.
Place a couple of lemon slices into a tall glass along with 2-3 tablespoonfuls of the honey/lemon syrup.
Fill glass with ice cubes and cold water.
Stir, sip and enjoy!
