Honey Sweetened Freshly Squeezed Lemonade

Refreshing, Classic, and irresistible

You may be wondering why I'm sharing lemonade in the middle of winter. I suppose it's because I'm missing summer, and this is a way to bring back a drop of it!

I love how refreshing this drink is. It's so yummy, and I'm transported back to the warm weather of June & July while I sip on this Honey Sweetened Freshly Squeezed Lemonade!

I was thinking how I could make lemonade sugar free, and yet maintain the wonderful classic taste that you normally get with using white sugar as a sweetener. I thought a combination of using liquid Stevia and honey would balance each other out and give a really nice taste to the lemonade. I find that Stevia often leaves an after-taste, but it didn't for this!

When you sip on this refreshing drink, you'll taste the slightest hint of honey.

If you wanted, you could probably add some fresh mint leaves to the lemonade and let it sit for 25 or so minutes. I think that'd add a really nice dimension to this drink.
