SIMPLE PROCESS
Step by step recipe
The secret is balancing sour and sweet. Fully dissolve the sweetener in the lemon juice first, then dilute with water. Add ice and fresh mint for extra freshness. Serve immediately to preserve the vitamin content.
Mix Juice and Sweetener
In a glass or pitcher, combine the lemon juice and sweetener. Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Add Water
Pour in cold or chilled water and stir. Add ice cubes if desired.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lemon slice or mint sprig. Serve immediately for maximum freshness.
CHEF'S TIP
Use Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
For the best flavor, use only fresh lemon juice, not bottled concentrate. One medium lemon yields about 20–25g of juice.
Dissolve Sweetener Thoroughly
Mix the sweetener with lemon juice first and stir until fully dissolved before adding water for a smooth, even flavor.
Add Ice and Mint
For maximum refreshment, add ice cubes and a sprig of mint or a lemon slice — it makes the drink even more appealing.
Try Other Citrus Fruits
Swap lemon for lime, orange, or grapefruit — each gives a new flavor at the same low calorie count.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Add your taste
- With Lime Replace lemon juice with lime juice for a more tart and aromatic drink, perfect for a mojito-style twist.
- With Sparkling Water Use sparkling mineral water instead of still water for a fizzy lemonade, just like at a café.
- With Honey If not on a strict diet, replace the sweetener with 1 teaspoon of honey for a more natural, rounded sweetness.
- Add Ginger Add a few thin slices of fresh ginger while steeping for a spicy, refreshing kick.
HOW TO STORE
How to Store Sugar-Free Lemonade
Best enjoyed fresh. If leftover, transfer to a bottle and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving, as natural sediment may form. Do not freeze — the flavor becomes dull after thawing.
