Using honey instead of sugar sounds good idea :) I will try it with adding mint leaves :)

LOVELOVELOVE this alternative to sugar!! I’ve started monitoring my eating habits lately and cut a lot of things out of my diet, but I just can’t get rid of my precious lemonade. This is a great way to keep it healthy!! So does the honey dissolve easily in the water?? I would think it might need to be dissolved in warm water before adding it to the mixture. Just curious! Thank you :)
