Have you had the Diet Lemonade from ChickFilA? And do you like it? I have always hated the aftertaste. Many people love their regular lemonade, but I have often found that it is too sweet for me.

Is lemonade keto? Most store-bought is not. Is sugar-free bad for you? If it has artificial sweetners, then maybe. For a while artificial sweeteners were the craze, but now the push is for organic and natural ingredients.

How to Make Keto Lemonade

1. Squeeze the juice of fresh lemons using a lemon squeezer or a lemon juicer until you have 2 cups of juice.
2. Place a saucepan on medium high heat and add 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sweetener to create a simple syrup.
3. Stir continuously until the mixture is clear. It will appear cloudy at first.
4. Add the simple syrup and lemon juice to a pitcher along with additional water to taste.

Simple Syrup

This recipe includes instructions on how to make simple syrup from a combination of water and sweetener that you heat on the stove. You can save a little time and work by using this monkfruit simple syrup from Lakanto.

How Many Carbs

One cup of lemonade has 2 net carbs.

Which Sweetener to Use

You can sweeten lemonade naturally by using an organic sweetener like monkfruit. This will keep the recipe refined sugar-free.

Recipe Tips

• The number of lemons you will need will vary based on the size of the lemons you use and how much juice you can get from each. Typically, I use 8-10 lemons.
• The best cheap way to make this recipe is to pick up a bag of lemons from Costco. A bag is usually $6.
• If you are having trouble juicing the lemons, place them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. This will help soften them up.
• Adjust this recipe to suit your taste and needs. If you like really sweet lemonade, add more sweetener.
• You can heat the simple syrup in the microwave if you wish. Heat it until the mixture turns clear, timing will vary.
• You can save a little time and work by using this monkfruit simple syrup from Lakanto instead of making your own.
• You can make strawberry lemonade using 2 cups of fresh puréed strawberries.

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 2 cups sweetener
• additional water to adjust to taste I added 5 cups

Instructions

• Juice the lemons using a lemon squeezer or lemon juicer.
• Add the lemon juice to a pitcher. I used a strainer when adding it to a pitcher because there were parts of the flesh from juicing.
• Pour 2 cups of water into a pan on medium-high heat. Add in the sweetener and stir.
• This will create a simple syrup. Continue to stir until the mixture is clear.
• Remove from the heat and add it to the pitcher with the lemon juice. Stir and add additional water to taste/meet your lemonade preference.
