The never-ending cold continues, so I decided to bring out the big guns. I made a natural cold remedy that my mama used to make me when I was a little girl. Serve it hot to soothe a sore throat or you can even serve it cold as a healthy lemonade. This recipe is pretty tart or “sssssoooour”, as Logan would say. You can try adding in another type of natural sweetener to up the sweetness level. I actually prefer the tart taste and so does my lemon loving toddler, it’s very refreshing on a hot day. You could even freeze this healthy lemonade in popsicle molds for a tasty treat or add in some brandy for the 21 and up crowd.

I like how you added honey instead of sugar.
