    Prepare to be fully refreshed by a single glass of strawberry lemonade.

    I’m a firm believer in single serving recipes as a way to make from scratch cooking more manageable. You don’t have to slave away for hours making enough to serve an army when you really just want one little glass of lemonade to get you through a hot afternoon.

    Cut lemons and strawberries

    A lemonade recipe for one is the perfect afternoon pick-me-up, and it gets bonus points for being naturally sweetened! I love sweetening my drinks with honey because it blends right in like a simple syrup. If you’re not into honey, check out the customization ideas below for swapping it out.

    Of course fresh, in season strawberries will give you the best result here, but I’m sure you could experiment with whatever you can find. You’re easily able to adjust the different ingredients to taste. If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, just add more lemon juice, or more honey for extra sweetness.
