That great old song, “Baby It’s Cold Outside” doesn’t mean it is everywhere during Autumn and Winter. For when it’s not cold outside or even when it is, this spiced homemade lemonade is great with a dessert, family, and friends.

3 cups cold water
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup minced, peeled, fresh ginger
1-1/4 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice

Place 1 cup of the water, honey, sugar, and ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil this for 5 minutes. Cool. Then strain this syrup into a pitcher. Mix in the lemon juice and the remaining 2 cups of water. Add ice to the pitcher and let stand for a full 5 minutes. Serve.
