Fresh lemonade is constantly on my mind during the summer and, with June fast approaching, I find myself thinking of nothing but lemons these days. This recipe for lemon blossom water couldn’t be simpler, and it only requires four ingredients. I not only use lemons, but lemon blossom water as well, which I bought from a Lebanese farmer earlier this year. For practical purposes, you can easily substitute lemon blossom water with orange blossom water. This lemonade’s aroma is reminiscent of spring and tastes just like summer, and it will keep you refreshed throughout the warm months ahead.
