State Fair Faves: Honey Lemonade Recipe

If you're in Minnesota, then you're excitedly counting down the days until the State Fair. For the record, only three more days to go! Anyway, my friend (and A Splendid Party partner) Maddy and I teamed up again to create a few great MN Get Together recipes with a twist to get you in the mood. One of the best things at the fair is the fresh squeezed lemonade. So, Maddy decided to put a sweet twist on the classic, by adding a good helping of honey.

This really is the simplest of recipes. I mean, it's lemonade after all. It's almost impossible to mess it up.

Ingredients:
½ cup honey
3 cups hot water
1 cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup sugar


Instructions:
In a heatproof bowl, combine the hot water, honey, and sugar. Stir until the honey and sugar have dissolved. Set the sugar and honey mixture aside to cool slightly, then add the lemon juice and stir to distribute. Refrigerate and serve.

As we continue to gear up for the fair and the amazing food, I'll be back to share even more State Fair Faves with you.
