About the Recipe
A refreshingly healthy take on a fun summer beverage that has the tendency to be far too sugary.
Meyers lemons tend to not be as bitter and tart as regular lemons so I love them for this drink!
(I like to keep it a bit tart so if you want a bit more sweetness you can add 1/2 tbsp more but much more than that and you know it's just becoming a sugary sweet drink again!)
Ingredients
3-4 Meyers Lemons (enough to make 1/2 cup of lemon juice)
1.5 tbsp organic honey
1 large sprig of fresh rosemary
4.5 cups of water
Dash of salt
1.5L Pitcher
Preparation
pour 1 cup of water into a small pot with the honey and the whole rosemary stem.
simmer on medium heat with the lid on while you prepare the lemons, remembering to stir occasionally.
Slice the lemons in half and juice them.
pour juice into a measuring pitcher until you have 1/2 cup.
pour the juice through a strainer into the pitcher or jar you will serve the lemonade from.
At this point, the rosemary will have been infused into the honey water and you can
pour that through the strainer into the pitcher as well.
Add approximately 3.5 cups of water (If you are using a larger pitcher be sure not to add too much water or else it will be very watered down.)
Serve with ice and garnish with a small sprig of rosemary and a lemon wheel!
