Calories: 9kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water cold
- 1 cup Granular Sweetener You can start with 3/4 cup sweetener and up to 1/4 cup more depending on your preferences
- 3/4 cup Lemon Juice freshly squeezed, about 5 lemons
- 2.5 cups Ice
- 1 Lemon optional slices for garnish
Instructions
- Use a citrus juicer to juice about 5 lemons
- Add the keto sweetener and lemon juice to a saucepan on medium-low heat.
- Whisk the mixture occasionally until the sweetener is dissolved (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool.
- Mix the cold water with the cooled sweetened lemon juice in a pitcher
- Add ice to the pitcher if serving immediately and lemon slices for garnish. Otherwise, serve each cup with about ½ cup of ice.
Notes
- Dissolve the sweetener first: Warm the lemon juice and keto sweetener together so the finished lemonade tastes smooth instead of gritty.
- Adjust to taste: Lemons vary, so add more water if the lemonade is too strong or a little more dissolved sweetener if it is too tart.
- Fresh lemon juice is best: Bottled lemon juice works in a pinch, but fresh lemons give the lemonade a brighter homemade flavor.
- Stir before serving: The lemonade may settle as it sits in the fridge.
