Raw Honey Lemonade

Molly–I can’t wait to try the lemonade——my sister and her husband are beekeepers—sounds and looks delicious–I know you are enjoying your folks–they are the finest—-Love,B

I tried this this summer too.. I found the combo really gross, for some reason, although it seemed like it would be perfect. The honey was such a strong flavor, even when it was still quite tart. Did anyone else think this?

Hmmm… maybe it was too strong? I’ve had great feedback on it. Some saying it’s the best lemonade they’ve ever had. So, not sure.

It was likely too strong because of the type of honey you were using. Some raw honey is much stronger than others. Also, as others commented, you probably didn’t put enough water in the mixture. I used Y.S. Eco Bee Farms Raw Honey and it tasted wonderful. I also use it in ginger tea with cinnamon – sliced fresh ginger. And it tastes great to me there too. You just need to find a type of honey which fits your preference in taste.

….oh and adding blended berries – just a few to keep it tasting like lemonade is what I love.

That sounds really good :)

Molly I love that lemonade. Happy that I got to try some before I left. It makes the lemonade taste like it’s got some real soul to it. Definitely the best surprise recipe to come from farm living so far. Can you send some to South Africa for me?

This is really super refreshing. I didn’t have fresh squeezed and just used some I had in a bottle and it was still very delish! I’m guessing the fresh squeezed would be even better! Simple and easy!!

I’m on a 30-day juice fast right now. Everything except fruit and vegetable juices, water, tea, stevia, and raw honey is prohibited.

I made this recipe for breakfast this morning, meaning to mix it in with some cantaloupe juice to make “melonade”, but the lemonade tasted so darn good by itself, I changed my mind. Thanks for this lovely recipe!

I’m a beekeeper and have a huge Meyer lemon tree in our yard. I made this lemonade in the vita mix (with frozen lemon juice from the tree). It was PERFECT! Even a little frothy! So much better and so different than lemonade made with sugar. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This was delicious! I added a little less honey (about 3/4 c) and it was perfect for me. I added tons of ice to my glass and it’s so refreshing! I also saved my lemon halves to make vinegar/lemon cleaner for my kitchen.

This recipe is so delicious! We just harvested some raw honey from our beehives so I was looking for a good lemonade recipe. This recipe is absolutely so refreshing. We served it over lots of ice so it was nice and cold! We are also giving it to my daughter because she has cold and got a bad cough. She does not like taking medicine. The honey does the trick! One word of caution I would say is that this is not a cheap recipe. 1 cup is quite a lot of honey. Definitely good for a treat though :)

Yum, love to have uses for raw honey, and really good to know during cold season. Thank you!!

Excellent recipe! I made it today and I could not be happier. Thank you for sharing this. It is very refreshing and tastes wonderful.

I like to heat this concoction to barely warm enough for the honey to mix with the water. I also use one cup less water and a very small amount of ginger (juiced). I like the cold refreshing too but the warm ginger is a great wind down or winter beverage

Yeah, great idea with the blender. The only thing i’d add is 1/2 cup to a cup of honey depending on taste. I put 3/4 cup and it was still a little sweet.

Just made it….delicious!!!!! I am not a lemonade lover, but this is so good.

New moms please check at what age is ok to feed raw honey to your little ones.

I make something similar, but sweeten it with Stevia. I also add kale juice from my kale stems. I use the lemon rinds to make homemade citrus vinegar for cleaning. Kale chips and lemonade snack after cleaning. No waste:)

I tried this and it was awful, sorry, honey just doesn’t go well together with lemon. The combination of 1 cup lemon and 1 cup honey was just nasty. I guess you may have a different tasting honey, I used 100% pure raw. Whatever happen to old fashion taste of lemonade, think I’ll make that one instead. lol

Wonderful! I used raw clover honey and it worked wonderfully :) Thank you for the recipe. The blender technique is a keeper!

Ok this is absolutely delicious but I freshly washed my blender and cant tell if its just frothy or super soapy! Did anyone else get a soapy bubbly looking top?

This is some amazing lemonade! My husband and daughter sucked it down! Its funny though, it get’s really soapy looking at the top.

My boyfriend and I are trying to keep away from processed white sugar, but we love lemonade. Am anxious to try this out. I’ll be the guinea pig and try it first before I spring it on him. Lol.

I used a mild central florida raw honey and meyer lemons from our trees picked in December. The initial ratio was good but we upped the lemon juice up an additional cup so it has a little more sour and tasted better. But meyer lemons and honey vary sweetness.

If add water and honey in a vita mix or any blender on low you end up with a honey mixture that will easily mix with cold liquids like water. You can store Mixture of this in your fridge and easily make lemonade by the glass whenever you need it. It’s actually great to use in other things because if how easily it mixes. You can do equal amounts water to honey or even 4 parts honey 2 parts water. Been doing this for years.
