Place lemon juice, honey and 3 cups of water into the container of a Vitamix (or another high-powered blender).
Start on low and increase speed to high, then blend until combined and smooth.
Add orange blossom water and pulse two times.
Taste and add more water to your liking. (Note: if you want to chill it faster, add ice instead of the last 1 cup of water and blend).
Transfer mixture to a large pitcher and cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Add lemon juice and honey in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until honey is dissolved.
Add 3 cups of water and orange blossom water and whisk to combine.
Taste and add more water to your liking.
Transfer mixture to a large pitcher and cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours!

Ingredient Substitution Notes

Honey: you could use maple syrup, agave, or regular granulated sugar. If using sugar, you will need to heat it on the stovetop or blend it until the sugar dissolves.
Lemon juice: Use fresh or bottled lemon juice. If using bottled, make sure to use 100% pure lemon juice (preferably organic).
Orange blossom water: This is the secret ingredient in authentic Lebanese lemonade. I don't recommend substitutes.

Store/Serve
