We’ve had a lot of recipe requests for my no-so secret but ever-so awesome lemonade. It’s actually a derivation of this recipe I found online. I make mine with a combination of sugar and Truvia, an artificial sweetener made from the stevia plant and use a microwave to cut cooking time. It’s so quick and easy, I often make it during downtime while cooking dinner or breakfast. I hope you enjoy…
Ingredients:
1.5 Cups of lemon juice (either fresh squeezed, or from a bottle)
1 Cup of sugar
2 Tbsp Truvia
8 cups of water
Directions:
Step one: Mix one cup water, sugar, and Truvia in a microwave save container for 2 minutes. Stir. Microwave for another 90 seconds. Stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture is clear.
Step two: Cool to room temp, then move to refrigerator until chilled.
Step three: Combine remaining water, lemon juice, and syrup mixture and chill.
Serve over ice and enjoy with a nice side of grapes. Goes well with the Sea Captain’s Ribs.
