Reviews
The ratio of honey to lemon is very good, however it is very strong. I need to add a lot of water to my glass when I serve myself. A little brandy wouldn’t hurt either
This is a little darker in color than typical lemonade because of the honey, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This has a good balance of tart and sweet, and it’s totally refreshing. Thanks for sharing your recipe, would make again.
