this is very yummy Red Clover Lemonade
Herbal lemonades are a refreshing summer drink, and a wonderful way to sneak some nutritious herbs into the family’s diet.
4 cups fresh Red Clover blossoms
1 gallon water
2 cups honey (1 lb) (you can use sugar, as honey is pretty pricey these days)
1 ½ cups lemon juice

1. Gently simmer Clover blossoms in a covered pot for 10 minutes.
2. Add honey, stirring until it dissolves.
3. Cover and let steep and cool for several hours or overnight. (This makes a strong, potent tea, maximizing the calcium and other nutrients in the Clover.)
4. Add lemon juice and chill in the fridge.
