Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 cups cold water
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or low-carb sweetener
- 10 pieces ice cubes
- 4 pieces lemon slices
- 4 sprigs mint sprigs
Instructions
In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold water. Stir well to ensure the lemon juice is thoroughly mixed.
Add the erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener to the lemon-water mixture. Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Gently crush the fresh mint leaves using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their essential oils, then add them to the pitcher.
Add ice cubes to the mixture, stirring once more to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding more erythritol if desired, stirring until dissolved.
Serve the lemonade in glasses over additional ice cubes, if preferred.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint before serving for an added touch of elegance and flavor.
