Note
For best results, use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for a brighter flavor.
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches work particularly well as frozen cubes.
If the honey is too thick to mix easily, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before whisking.
Store any remaining lemonade in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The frozen fruit cubes can be kept in a freezer bag for future use.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey to taste before adding the water.
