Recipe Breakdown

Only three ingredients, lemon juice, stevia and water

  • Water– Filtered water, or if you prefer your lemonade fizzy just switch up the water for sparkling!
  • Lemon juice: Depending on the size of your lemons, you will need between 6-8 medium size lemons to get 1.5 cups of lemon juice. Use fresh lemons –Fresh squeezed lemon juice has the best flavour, stay away from lemon juice in a bottle as it usually contains additives.
  • Stevia: Mix the lemon juice and stevia together before adding the water. This will help the stevia dissolve quicker.
  • Mint: Use fresh mint, or food grade mint essential oils, 1-2 drops. If you’re storing the lemonade over night, remove the mint as it will become brown and over powering.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Cups Water
  • 1.5 Cups Lemon juice (6-8 medium sized lemons)
  • 3/4 Cup Stevia (Or 1.5 cup sugar equivalent, adjust to your liking)

Optional

  • 3-4 Tbsp Lime juice
  • 3 Sprigs Mint

Instructions
 

  • Add lemon juice and stevia to a pitcher. Mix together the lemon juice and stevia before adding the water, this will help dissolve the stevia quicker.
  • Add water to stevia and lemon juice and stir.
  • Refrigerate and serve over ice.

Notes

  • If substituting another sweetener, use an amount equal to 1.5 cups sugar.
  • Keep in the fridge for 2-3 days
  • If your sweetener does not dissolve easily in water, try microwaving or boiling 1 cup of the water and dissolve the sweetener in the hot water first before mixing with the remaining water and the lemon juice.
  • You will need a lemon squeezer to make this lemonade. Since lemon squeezers are relatively cheap, it really isn’t worth all of the work to squeeze them by hand. A lemon squeezer can do a better job and quicker as well. You can find inexpensive lemon squeezers on Amazon.
  • Dont toss your peels! Turn them into a natural all purpose cleaner https://thesproutinghomestead.com/natural-non-toxic-vinegar-cleaner/
