How to Make Honey Limeade

In a pitcher, combine 1 cup fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup honey.
Stir well until the honey is completely dissolved.
Taste the mixture and add up to an additional 1/4 cup of honey, if desired, to adjust sweetness.
Add 5 cups of cold water to the pitcher.
Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill thoroughly.
Before serving, add ice cubes to each glass.
Garnish each glass with lime slices: thinly slice a lime crosswise, cut each slice in half, and add to the pitcher or individual glasses.
