Ingredients

2 medium-sized lemons
zest of 1 lemon
⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
¾ cup cold water
3 cups ice

Instructions

Zest the peel of one lemon and add to a blender. Remove the peel and any pith (the white part) from the lemon then cut into large chunks and put in the blender with the lemon zest.
Next, add your sweetener of choice, water, and ice. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes. Pour into two glasses, garnish with a slice of lemon and enjoy.

Notes

Raspberry lemonade - for a sweet and refreshing beverage, add in 1 cup of fresh or frozen raspberries before blending.
Strawberry lemonade - strawberry lemonade was one of my favorite summer drinks as a kid. Add in 1 cup of fresh or frozen roughly chopped strawberries before blending. Garnish with a fresh strawberry or lemon slice.
Lemon-limeade - replace ¼ of the lemon with peeled and cut-up lime and zest of one lime. The lime will make the lemonade slightly more sour but still delicious.
Adult only - add a shot of tequila or vodka for an adults-only beverage.
