Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3-4 medium fresh lemons ((Meyer lemons, if available))
  • 5 cups water
  • ½ cup Swerve, granular
  • ice cubes, for serving

Instruction

  • Use the peeler to remove thin slices of the yellow rind from 2 of the lemons.
  • Cut lemons in half. Juice enough lemons to yield ½-cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • Put the water and Swerve in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture (medium heat) until the Swerve completely dissolves. Stir it occasionally, leaving it on the heat for 15-20 minutes. (Don't let much water evaporate.) The solution will not turn fully clear.
  • Take the pan off the heat and stir in the lemon zest peelings. Let the mixture rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • After the 30 minutes have passed, remove the lemon rinds from the Swerve solution with a strainer. Stir in the lemon juice. Refrigerate your keto lemonade until it is chilled.
  • Serve your keto lemonade in a tall glass over ice with fun straws (if desired). We garnished ours with fresh mint, but that is optional.
