    What makes homemade lemonade so good?

    Homemade lemonade, such as this lemonade, is made with freshly squeezed authentic lemon juice, resulting in a pure and fresh taste of lemon.

    That basil lemonade recipe is made in a blender and has a unique flavor thanks to the basil. Both this recipe for homemade lemonade and that recipe for basil lemonade are great tasting alternatives to the sugary lemonades.

    Allulose monk fruit sweetener works well when you are making the simple syrup needed for this recipe. You can find Allulose monk fruit here.

    Ingredients needed to make homemade lemonade without sugar.

    • For the simple syrup you will need water and and granular sugar alternative such as allulose monk fruit sugar alternative.
    • Lemon Juice. Freshly squeezed works best as it is fresh.
    • Water. Cold water is blended with the other ingredients to make the lemonade.
    • Serving. Lemon slices, fresh mint, and ice.

    Expert Tip ๐Ÿ‘‰ While you could use the granular sugar alternative of your choice to make the syrup, allulose monk fruit seems to dissolve well when heated with water. Other alternatives do not dissolve as well and some may add a bitter flavor to the lemonade.

    Homemade Sugar Free Lemonade, a simple and delicious no added sugar beverage recipe made with just three ingredients.

    Tips for making the best sugar free lemonade.

    To make the two cups of lemon juice needed to make this lemonade, you many need up to 10-12 lemons, depending on their size and amount of juice in each of your lemons.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. Do you have to make a simple syrup to enjoy this recipe? A simple syrup is used as it dissolves completely, preventing a gritty texture in your lemonade. However, you can make my Sugar Free Basil Lemonade and omit the basil.
    2. Stirring in a teaspoon or so of vanilla extract after the simple syrup has cooled a bit can add a nice flavor to your lemonade.
    3. I find that juicing lemons is easier when your roll the lemon firmly between the palm of your and hand your countertop first.
    4. Using filtered water can make a cleaner, and more fresh tasting lemonade.
    5. For an extra burst of lemon flavor you can stir in some lemon zest to your lemonade.

    How to store homemade lemonade.

    Lemonade should be stored in an airtight container such as a pitcher. When properly stored, lemonade should keep for about a week refrigerated or frozen in ice cube tray for up to a few months.
