Honey Strawberry Lemonade

he funny aspect approximately me, is that I constantly need to be ingesting something. I’ve been doing pretty a few S’Mores Iced Coffees these days. most of the time it’s ice water out of my camelbak (critically I ♡ those things), but from time to time I lose interest and want some thing a liiiitle extra interesting more my tastebuds.

That’s where this honey strawberry lemonade is available in. some days ago, i used to be bored of my water and had a hankering for a few lemonade. regularly, lemonade may be so sugary it makes my enamel harm… literally, so I decided to ditch the shop bought, sugar encumbered lemonade, and make my personal, the usage of honey because the only sweetener!

let me let you know… I suppose I’m in love with honey sweetened lemonade. It adds more taste and the honey is going perfectly with the tart lemons and strawberries.

I knew that I desired to make a easy syrup for this honey strawberry lemonade. I wasn’t certain if honey could be too sticky to fully include into the drink and i desired the strawberry taste, but I didn’t need chunks of strawberry floating around, and i used to be some distance too lazy to make a strawberry puree.
