Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1/3 cup of honey and turn heat to medium. This is called a simple syrup, and it prevents a big clump of honey (or sugar) sitting at the bottom of the pitcher while you stir forever to get it to dissolve.

Step 2

Once the honey is dissolved (this may take up to 5 minutes), pour it into the bottom of a half-gallon pitcher or glass jar.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice and remaining 4 cups of water and stir well.

Step 4

Taste and adjust sweetener, if desired.

Step 5

Homemade lemonade is most refreshing when served cold and/or over ice.
