Notes
- Don't worry about picking out seeds as you squeeze the lemon juice. Your lemonade will eventually be strained anyway.
- If you'd rather skip the stirring of honey into water and the straining of your lemonade, use about ½ as much ginger, and make this in a blender. If you choose to go this route, you will need to pick out the seeds as you squeeze the lemons.
