Honey has been utilized as a natural sweetener long before sugar was used—the good news is you can use less honey than sugar in recipes. One part honey is equal to about 1 1/4–1 1/2 parts sugar. Honey can also carry nutrients via the bees. With vitamin C from the lemon and antioxidants from the cucumber, this refreshing and hydrating water recipe is perfect for any activity.
