Notes
Use either fresh lemon juice or a high quality brand that you have tried and trust. I use Santa Cruz Organic if I am not using fresh lemon juice. You will need about 4 small lemons, but measure once juiced to ensure you have the correct ratio.
To use granulated sweetener: Bring one cup of water to a low boil in a small sauce pan. Once water is hot, whisk in a little less than ½ cup of a granulated low carb sweetener that measured 1:1 with regular sugar. Continue to stir until the sweetener has fully dissolved to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cooled, mix 1 cup of simple syrup + 2 cups of water + ¾ cup fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.
**If you are using the Lakanto Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener you can skip warming the water before mixing in the sweetener. Just mix the powdered sweetener in cold water until it dissolves completely.
