These two lemonade recipes are the perfect summer drinks!

Who doesn’t love a refreshing drink on hot summer days? Fresh from the refrigerator and not too sweet, that’s how I like my drinks. If you like it sweet just add your favorite sweetener to your lemonade.

Classic Homemade Lemonade Ingredients:

• 4 cups water
• 1/2 cup honey
• 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• a couple of lemon slices
• lemon balm or peppermint leaves

Start by mixing your water with the honey in a large pitcher.

When all the honey is dissolved pour your freshly squeezed lemon juice into the honey water. I use a sieve since I’m not a big pulp fan.

And ofc we can not forget about LOTS of ice and some lemon slices in our lemonade. I also like to add some lemon balm or peppermint leaves to the lemonade.

Red Currant Lemonade Ingredients:

• 1 part red currant juice
• 3 parts water
• a few stems of fresh lemon thyme
• fresh currants

For the lemonade mix the juice and the cold water in a pitcher. To add some extra flavor I use a few stems of lemon thyme and fresh currants. Let the lemonade chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes for the thyme to infuse it’s flavor .

Serve over ice.
