Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) hot water
  • 1 tbsp (12 g / 0.42 oz) granular erythritol (or sugar)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
  • ¾ cup (180 ml / 6.1 fl oz) cold water
  • Ice cubes and a lemon slice, for serving
  • For a different flavor profile, muddle a few fresh mint leaves or basil in the bottom of the glass before adding the hot water.
  • Make a larger batch of the erythritol simple syrup (1:1 ratio of hot water to erythritol) and store it in the fridge for even faster lemonade assembly.
  • For a sparkling lemonade, substitute the cold water with chilled club soda or sparkling water.

Method
 

  1. In a tall glass (at least 16 oz / 475 ml), combine the hot water and erythritol.
  2. Stir vigorously until the sweetener has completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup.
  3. Pour in the fresh lemon juice and cold water, stirring to combine everything.
  4. Fill the glass to the top with ice cubes, garnish with a fresh lemon slice, and serve immediately.
  5. Roll the lemon firmly on the counter before juicing to release more liquid.
