Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh lemons
- 3 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or any zero-calorie sweetener of choice)
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 sprig Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Roll the lemons on a countertop using the palm of your hand to soften them and make juicing easier.
Cut each lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl or measuring cup using a citrus juicer or your hand. Remove any seeds that fall into the juice.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated erythritol, and water.
Stir the mixture vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the erythritol is completely dissolved.
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more erythritol, if desired.
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher or directly to serving glasses to chill the lemonade.
Pour the lemonade into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, low-calorie lemonade!
