Things are starting to get HOT here; it was +22 C yesterday here, which a pretty hot day for May here! And we are scheduled for even more of it. YAY!
One of my favourite ways to cool off on a hot day is lemonade. But powder mixes are full of sugar, and even homemade lemonade can have a lot in it. But then I went to Vancouver to visit family and friends, and enjoyed my Uncle Rick's sugar-free lemonade. He has been playing around with making his own drinks and pop at home, and I got to enjoy this tasty concoction.
I made myself a batch the other day and LOVED it! Now, even though it is sugar-free, it isn't full of the nasty fake sugars like aspartame or Splenda/sucralose. Instead, it is sweetened with stevia (for more info on this lovely plant, check out my post!)
Uncle Ricky's Sugar-free Lemonade
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Add water to total 2 litres
Stir in 2 tsp of stevia powder (more to taste, if desired)
Pretty simple hey? Feel free to switch it up, add in some orange juice, some lime juice, whatever, as long as your squeezed juices measure to one cup total.
