Super Simple Lemon Drink Recipe #1:
to Help You Relax
INGREDIENTS:
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp of Agave sweetener (sugar will do, too)
1 cup boiling water
There. You can imagine the rest. Just put the agave sweetener (or sugar) and the juice of one lemon in the bottom of the coffee mug and pour hot water over it. Done.
Note: this is a great drink to help soothe a sore throat. Not that we're doctors or anything (this is where the legal nerds tell us, "Make sure you put a disclaimer in there to tell everyone you're not a doctor." Duh.
Anyway, this is a great lemon drink recipe to help you relax at night if you're tired of decaf tea or hot chocolate. Best of all, it's super easy to modify. If you end up with a monster-sized lemon, use more sweetener. If you like it sour, use less sweetener. Good stuff.

Super Simple Lemon Bonus Recipe:
Lemon Syrup
INGREDIENTS:A bunch of lemons
1 cup of agave sweetener (or sugar)
1/2-Cup of water
That's right: simple syrup with lemon juice. The reason we said "a bunch of lemons" is because we want you to make a huge batch of this stuff and save it in the fridge, or even in the freezer. Keep it on hand all year round.
Make ice cubes out of it and put it in the drinks mentioned above to give you a good balance of sweet and sour lemon flavors.
Keep it as a syrup and replace the need to mix sweetener and lemon juice later - just pour the lemon simple syrup in the cup, and pour the boiling water over it for the lemon tea, or pour the seltzer water over it in a pint glass if you want a sweeter summer refreshment than just the lemon juice and seltzer water mix. It's also a great alternative to buying lemon-lime sodas for the kids. Not that sugar and agave are great for them, but natural sugars and sweeteners are a better alternative than high fructose corn syrup.
There you have it! Take our super-simple lemon drink recipes and keep yourself busy all year round, whether you want to relax, refresh, or just get drunk. Heck, you can do all three at once if you ask us.
