In the Mediterranean, fresh lemon juice is frozen during the winter months and used throughout the year in salads, as a seasoning on food and in preparation of fresh lemonade during the long hot summer. This incredibly easy recipe for lemonade is sweetened with only honey. Topped with sparkling water, this fizzy version is the perfect drink on hot summer days.
