How to Make Honey I Love You Vanilla Lemonade Rachael Ray

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup honey, and 2 cups water. Heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Split a vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the saucepan using the back of a knife. Add the vanilla bean pod to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the syrup slightly thickens.
  4. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
  5. While the syrup cools, pour 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice into a large pitcher or gallon jar.
  6. Once cooled, strain the sugar syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into the pitcher, discarding the vanilla bean pod.
  7. Add enough cold water or club soda to reach 1 gallon total volume. Stir gently to combine.
  8. Serve over ice. Garnish with lemon wedges or wheels for an extra touch of elegance.
