LEMONS – We’re tossing in 5-6 whole lemons, with the piths and seeds removed. Yes, you will be keeping the skin/peel on the lemon. They contain lots of vitamins and nutrients, plus, you’ll be straining the excess pulp.

WATER – Because the consistency of the drink will already be pretty thick, we’re using water. This will help loosen it up a bit. You’ll also be adding a bit of ice to the blender for a thicker, frostier lemonade.

SWEETENER – If you do not have agave nectar, you can use simple syrup, honey, or even regular granulated sugar in its place. Always taste for sweetness as you go.

1. Place the lemons and 2 cups of cold water in a blender and blend until smooth. Optionally add ice cubes if you’d like it to be more frosty.
2. Strain into a pitcher through a fine-mesh strainer pushing on the solids to release as much liquid as possible. It’s ok if a little pulp makes it through.
3. Pour in the agave and taste for sweetness adding more if necessary. Serve chilled over ice.
