I don’t know about you all, but I am absolutely THRILLED that summer is almost here. European summers are truly the best – fun at the seaside, playing outside with the kids every day in the sunshine, hiking in the mountains, and sipping the most delicious lemonade at quaint little old town cafes. After falling in love with European lemonade over these last few years, I just knew I had to recreate it – and so this Healthy 3-Ingredient Lemonade recipe was born!

Why are you using straws nobody should be using straws of all the pollution these days.
Hi Dave, great question! These are actually paper straws and they’re completely biodegradable. I agree, plastic straws should be a thing of the past. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment 🙂
Is that what you got from this recipe? C’mon Karen.
Hi! Any other substitute sweetener aside from refined sugar and honey?
Agave nectar also works well in this recipe! 🙂
Wow…this looks incredibly delicious!!! My family would love it!
Thanks so much!
I used agave nectar and found that it was kind of bland, and too sour, so I upped the agave to 1/2 cup. Even though agave is sweeter than other liquid sugars. But it may just be my personal taste, as I like very sweet lemonade.
Thanks for the tips! We enjoy a more sour lemonade, but this recipe can be made to anyone’s tastes 🙂
I will definitely be trying this. I made your East 3-Ingredient Chia Seed Strawberry Jam a few days ago and it’s FABULOUS!!! I shared it with my friends that give me the honey.
Thanks so much! Hope you like it!! 🙂
This looks wonderful and I plan on trying. Do you mix with cold water and , if so, any issues with getting the honey lemon mixture to mix with the water.
I just trimmed some fresh mint and lavendar from my garden and plant on adding them too! This recipe is simple and will be a perfect base, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kelley!I usually juice the lemons and add the juice to a blender along with the honey.I blend them until smooth and then add the water.I hope you enjoy!!
Hi I juice my lemons and freeze the juice, could you give an estimate on how many cups of juice would be in 5 lemons? I don’t have my own supply of lemons so just juice them when friends give them to me. Thanks
For future reference, one lemon usually has between 2 and 3 tablespoons of juice in it (depending on the size and ripeness). 🙂
Delicious. I’ve made a similar recipe before but instead of blending the honey and lemon, I dissolved the honey in a little hot water (about half a mug-full) then mixed that into the lemon and water. Once it’s in the fridge or ice is added the heat gets evened out easily.
Hot water and lemon will cause weight loss. It will also revitalize the entire drink.
Oops, I meant devitalize’s the entire lemon and honey drink.
Delicious! I used about 1 tbsp of agave (I only made a cup of lemonade) but I ran out, so I had to use a bit of sugar. Added some frozen blueberries which cooled it down and helped mellow out the tartness from the lemons. Super delicious!
Glad you find the recipe delicious!!😊
How many servings does this make?
Hi Sharon! This recipe is for 4 servings🙂.
Really good
i would highly recommend doing half iced green tea and half of this lemonade, it’s the perfect refreshing summer drink and it’s healthy too!
Thanks Riley!!
How long do you think this would last in a fridge if making a bigger batch
I would say that it should be good for up to one week. Enjoy 😊
