For those of you who love lemonade, but don't want the sugar, try this great recipe I came up with a while back!
Lemonade:
Mix well, and enjoy! If it is too tart for you, try adding more water. Couldn't get any easier than that!
Here are some fun variations on it:
Cranberry Lemonade: Prepare lemonade as above. Pour 1/4 cup of 100% cranberry juice into bottom of glass. Finish filling with fresh lemonade.
Grape Lemonade: Prepare lemonade as above. Pour 1/4 cup of 100% grape juice into bottom of glass. Finish filling with fresh lemonade.
Strawberry Lemonade: Prepare lemonade as above in large pitcher. Add 1 package of fresh frozen strawberries - no sugar added! - (or 10 ounces of your own frozen strawberries) to pitcher. Stir well, and serve over ice. The lemonade will take on a slight strawberry taste, plus you'll have a bit of fresh fruit to munch once it thaws!
Fresh Berry Ice Cubes: Prepare lemonade as above. Fill two ice trays with lemonade, and add one piece of your favorite berry to each section of the tray. (Raspberries or blackberries are great for this!) Freeze well. When serving your lemonade, add your berry cubes to the glass instead of ice cubes. This will keep your lemonade from watering down, plus it makes it very festive!
Tropical Lemonade: Prepare lemonade as above. Pour 1/4 cup of 100% orange juice into bottom of glass. Finish filling with fresh lemonade. To this, add ice cubes made from 100% unsweetened pineapple juice. Very tasty!
