Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh lemons
- 6 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Granulated natural sweetener (e.g., erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 pieces Lemon slices (for garnish, optional)
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
1. Wash the lemons thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
2. Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a juicer or a citrus press. Collect about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
3. Strain the lemon juice through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove seeds and pulp, if desired.
4. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the granulated natural sweetener. Heat over medium heat and stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved to create a simple syrup. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
5. Add the simple syrup to the pitcher with the lemon juice.
6. Pour 5 cups of cold water into the pitcher and stir well to combine. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more water or sweetener, if needed.
7. Add ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the lemonade further and keep it refreshing.
8. Serve the sugar-free lemonade in glasses over additional ice cubes, if desired.
9. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint for an elegant touch.
10. Enjoy your guilt-free and refreshing sugar-free homemade lemonade!
