Ingredients:

8-10 lemons, halved
1/2 to 3/4 cup honey or to taste
Water
Ice cubes
Optional for mixing: Vodka, bourbon, or rum
Optional: Club soda for a fizzy version

Instructions:

Preheat the Grill: Fire up your Arteflame Grill to a medium heat. You're looking for a nice, even heat distribution across the cooktop.
Grill the Lemons: Place lemon halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill until the lemons are nicely charred, about 4-5 minutes. The charring will add a smoky depth to the lemonade.
Juice the Lemons: Once the lemons have cooled slightly, juice them into a pitcher. A typical lemon yields about 2-3 tablespoons of juice, so adjust your juicing according to how much lemonade you want to make.
Sweeten: Add honey to the lemon juice while it's still slightly warm to help it dissolve more easily. Stir well to combine. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
Dilute: Add water to the lemon and honey mixture according to your taste. Start with about 4 cups of water for a stronger lemonade and adjust from there.
Chill: Add ice cubes to the pitcher to cool the lemonade down quickly, or refrigerate until chilled.
Serve: Serve the grilled lemonade over ice. For an adult version, mix with your choice of vodka, bourbon, or rum. A splash of club soda can add a refreshing fizz.
Enjoy: Garnish with a slice of grilled lemon on the rim of each glass for a decorative touch and extra flavor.
