Time 10m

Yield 1 gallon

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 cups water, plus more as needed
1 vanilla bean
2 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 24 lemons)
Lemon wheels or wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, and 2 cups water and place over medium-high heat. Cut the vanilla bean in 1/2 lengthwise, then, using the back of the knife, scrape the vanilla seeds from the pod and add to the saucepan, along with the pod. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 4 or 5 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Put the lemon juice into a gallon jug or pitcher. Pour the sugar syrup through a strainer into the pitcher and discard the pod. Add water to equal 1 gallon and stir well.
  • Serve over ice with lemon wheels or wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe lemons: The riper the lemons, the more juice they will yield, resulting in a more flavorful lemonade.
  • Use quality honey: Opt for raw, unfiltered honey for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
  • Make a simple syrup: Combining honey and water in a saucepan and heating it until the honey dissolves creates a smooth, consistent sweetener for the lemonade.
  • Chill the lemonade before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the refreshing taste.
  • Add fresh herbs or fruit: Customize the lemonade by adding herbs like mint or basil, or slices of fruit like strawberries or blueberries, for a unique twist.

Conclusion:

Rachael Ray's Honey I Love You Vanilla Lemonade is a delightful and refreshing beverage that combines the sweetness of honey, the tartness of lemons, and the aromatic flavors of vanilla and cinnamon. With its simple preparation and customizable options, this lemonade is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a backyard barbecue, a summer picnic, or a relaxing afternoon at home.
