My kids, apparently. Staying hydrated is an absolutely must in this blazing Texas heat, so you know what they say: when life gives you 100 degree temps, you make lemonade! I started making my kiddos this healthy 3-ingredient lemonade over the summer and it’s quickly become a family favorite. It’s a fast and easy recipe even my five-year-old can make, and swapping the sugar for raw honey helps to keep the drink from being *too* sweet. Simply mix the ingredients together, pour over ice and enjoy. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Healthy 3-Ingredient Lemonade 1 cup lemon juice (about 5 fresh lemons) 1/3 cup honey 4 cups water (still or sparkling)   What’s your go-to warm weather drink? SHOP THE POST
