Homemade fresh squeezed lemonade…. who doesn’t love it? But sugar free lemonade? Who would drink that?
Well, we did when I made a pitcher of sugar free mint lemonade one day after my daughter came home from eating lunch at some frou frou restaurant downtown with her friends raving about their mint lemonade. I was getting tired of drinking only water and decided to experiment and lo and behold we all fell in love with it. It’s tart and sweet with a mint flavor and is so refreshing on a hot summer day.
