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!
I can’t even tell you how happy I am to have a good, healthy lemonade in my life again – conventional lemonade in North America is packed with sugar and so it was a drink I gave up on for so many years. This Healthy 3-Ingredient Lemonade is made with lemons, water, and a touch of all natural honey for sweetness, making it good for your body and even great for kids! It’s ultra refreshing, easy to make, and it’s sure to become your new favourite summer drink too!

Dave Chmilar says
Why are you using straws nobody should be using straws of all the pollution these days.
Chrissie says
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 🙂
Costas G says
Is that what you got from this recipe? C’mon Karen.
Debbie says
Hi! Any other substitute sweetener aside from refined sugar and honey?
Chrissie says
Agave nectar also works well in this recipe! 🙂
Boyd Kobe says
Wow…this looks incredibly delicious!!! My family would love it!
Chrissie says
Thanks so much!
Istana says
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.
Chrissie says
Thanks for the tips! We enjoy a more sour lemonade, but this recipe can be made to anyone’s tastes 🙂
Donna Greene says
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.
Chrissie says
Thanks so much! Hope you like it!! 🙂
Kelley says
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!
The Busy Baker says
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!!
Heather says
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
Chrissie says
For future reference, one lemon usually has between 2 and 3 tablespoons of juice in it (depending on the size and ripeness). 🙂
Sonia says
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.
Jay says
Hot water and lemon will cause weight loss. It will also revitalize the entire drink.
Jay says
Oops, I meant devitalize’s the entire lemon and honey drink.
Ryan H says
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!
The Busy Baker says
Glad you find the recipe delicious!!😊
Sharon Smith says
How many servings does this make?
The Busy Baker says
Hi Sharon! This recipe is for 4 servings🙂.
Jatziri says
Really good
Riley Gallerani says
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!
The Busy Baker says
Thanks Riley!!
Bk says
How long do you think this would last in a fridge if making a bigger batch
The Busy Baker Team says
I would say that it should be good for up to one week. Enjoy 😊
