The Bee’s Freeze

  2. 1.5 oz Raw Honey Syrup (2 parts raw honey : 1 part warm water)
  3. 1.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  4. 1 cup Ice

We use a little more lemon juice and honey syrup than a regular Bee’s Knees for this to create a smoother consistency and better balance of flavor in the frozen version.

For bonus points, try adding a few of your favorite fresh, seasonal berries into the blender, too!
