Cherry Mint Lemonade {Honey Sweetened}



Spring is here!!!  This means cherries are in season!  

This gorgeous pink Cherry Mint Lemonade was so much fun to make.  Little Love requested we make homemade lemonade, and I was craving cherries ... so of course we had to make some. 

Organic Cherries + Mint + Raw Local Honey + Organic Lemons = EPIC Lemonade    



I’m super excited to be guest posting today for The Spring Dish {PLANT POWER} blog series at With Food + Love!

    Sounds wonderful! We have a lot of mint at our house, and I think our children would be delighted with a drink like this.

      I bet they would love it. How great that you have mint. The kids at my daughter's school say that all the little fairy's live in the mint, so it's a very special herb :)
