Old-Fashioned Lemonade (1 quart)

1/4 cup light agave nectar or honey
1/4 cup boiling water
3 cups very cold water
1/2 cup lemon juice

Pour the sweetener in a heat-safe glass jar or stainless steel bowl.  Pour in the boiling water and stir until the sweetener dissolves.  Wisk in the cold water and lemon juice.  Pour into 2 to 4 tall, ice-cube-filled glasses.

TIP: If you don't have light agave nectar on hand, use the lightest, mildest honey tou can find, otherwise, the honey's flavor may dominate the lemonade.

Add any additional honey before the mixture has cooled so it mixes in well.
