Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh lemons
- 6 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar-free sweetener (e.g., stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Roll the fresh lemons on a countertop with your palm to help release more juice, then cut them in half and juice them using a juicer or handheld lemon squeezer until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and 6 cups of cold water.
Gradually add the sugar-free sweetener to the pitcher, stirring well after each addition. Taste as you go to adjust sweetness levels to your preference.
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the lemonade.
If desired, lightly crush the fresh mint leaves to release their aroma and add them to the pitcher for an extra layer of flavor.
Stir the lemonade once more and serve immediately in glasses with additional ice if needed. Enjoy your sugar-free lemonade!
