Healthy Homemade Orange Lemonade

How to make your own sweet, refreshing, and healthy orange lemonade at home with just 4 ingredients and 10 minutes.

Orange lemonade has been one of my childhood favorites, especially in summer. This homemade version tastes just as delicious, actually better, but contains no refined sugar and additives, as many store-bought lemonades do. Instead, it contains a lot of vitamin C and is perfect to cool off on hot summer days!

This healthy homemade orange lemonade is made of just 4 ingredients: Freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cold water (sparkling if desired), and agave.

Thanks to the sweetness of the oranges, you will only need a small amount of sweetener for this lemonade. Depending on the sweetness of the oranges used and your taste preferences, you can even omit the sweetener.

How to Make Homemade Orange Lemonade

To squeeze the oranges and lemons, I recommend a juicer, which is much easier than squeezing them out by hand.

Then all that is left to do is add all the ingredients to a pitcher, stir well, and serve immediately, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
