It’s summer time, the weather is HOT and the BBQ’s are out! Now we only need a good sugar free drink to keep us hydrated! That’s why I made this super YUMMY sugar free lemonade!
It’s also keto friendly and fairly low carb. The only carbs come from the lemon juice itself. I did want to try to ‘spice’ it up a little and make some different flavours.
The first one I made was using a ‘water enhancer’ (like Mio). President’s Choice brand has a yummy pink lemonade flavour that is really delicious!
The second keto lemonade flavour I made was using tea! I steeped some hot tea, let it cool before adding ice and the lemonade. For this video I used lavender black tea and an orange rooibos tea.
HOT TIP! If you use some hibiscus tea – it will taste like the Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher Lemonade from Starbucks!!!
When making the lemonade, you may not want to make as much as I did, or make even more. The best ratio I found is 1:2 (1 cup lemon juice to 2 cups water). I found that using a powdered sugar substitute works best if you don’t want the granuals to reappear and sink to the bottom. (If that does happen, just stir it together again). For this recipe, I used Swerve (erythritol).
Hope you all enjoy this delicious summer sugar free lemonade!
