4 cups of very warm water
2 cups of room temperature water
1/3 cup of honey + 2 tablespoons
6 organic lemons + 1 for garnish
fresh sprigs of local organic mint
lots of ice (about 2 cups)
To heat the water, I like to put 4 cups of water in a kettle and place on burner till very hot and starting to steam. Pour the very warm water into heat proof container. Add in the honey. Stir to combine then add in the room temperature water.
Squeeze the juice out of the 6 lemons. Place a strainer over the opening of the water-honey mixture and pour in the lemon juice.
Add in the ice and the mint. Chill in the refrigerator. Before serving, cut the last lemon into slices and place in the jug. The sliced lemons and the mint leaves are beautiful garnishes for this delicious beverage.
