Ingredients
- 64 ounces water (8 cups)
- 1 cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed or bottled)
- 1/4 teaspoon pure stevia extract (or other sweetener equivalent to 1 cup of sugar--See Recipe Notes for details)
- 1/16 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pour water into pitcher.
- Add lemon juice and stevia or other sweetener.
- If using a granulated sweetener, mix ½ cup water and the sweetener in a pot and heat until the sweetener is dissolved. Then, once dissolved, add sweetener and water mix to remaining water.
- Stir, add ice cubes, if desired, and enjoy.
- Garnish with fresh mint, fresh strawberries, fresh pineapple, fresh lemon slices, lemon zest, or even frozen cucumbers.
Notes
- Lemon Juice: Use more or less lemon juice as you'd like, but these proportions are great in my book. 1/8 cup lemon juice is the equivalent of the juice from 1 lemon so use that approximation if you'd prefer to use fresh lemons.
- Sweeteners: There are so many sweeteners you can use to make lemonade without sugar. Traditional lemonade is usually made with regular sugar, but I love using pure stevia extract because it's so easy, inexpensive, dissolves easily, and is readily available. But you can use your sweetener of choice.
- A liquid sweetener (like this sugar-free simple syrup) is the next best option, since it dissolves easily. If you're not trying to eat low-carb or keto, honey is a fantastic choice and maple syrup is a fun option too.
- For honey or maple syrup, you'll need to use less--read this post on baking with honey for more information.

- Other low-carb sweeteners can be used to make a keto lemonade, but if they're granulated, powdering the sweeteners first is the best so they'll dissolve well and you don't end up with a big glob of sweetener at the bottom of the glass!
- The salt is optional but I recommend not skipping it. It adds that perfect extra "thing", plus it also adds beneficial minerals.
