Start by rolling the limes on your kitchen counter with your palm to help release the juice inside. Cut each lime in half.
Juice the limes using a citrus juicer to extract as much juice as possible. You should have around 1 cup of fresh lime juice.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice with the erythritol sweetener. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Add 4 cups of ice water to the pitcher and stir until everything is well mixed.
Taste the limeade and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more erythritol or lime juice if necessary.
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the limeade.
For serving, pour the limeade into individual glasses. Garnish each glass with a slice of lime and a mint leaf.
Enjoy your refreshing low-carb limeade!
