Notes
*Adjust the amount of honey and water to suit your tastes. If you enjoy sweet lemonade - use 3/4 cup of honey for the recipe instead of 1/2.
*Be sure to wash your lemons before using.
*You can use bottled lemon juice from concentrate but the flavor will be very different.
*Add a few sprigs of mint or raspberries if desired.
*Cover the pitcher while it sits in the fridge to chill.
