How To Make The Best Homemade Lemonade Recipe!

How do you make this homemade lemonade recipe?  It’s easy, delicious and so refreshing.  Let’s roll up our sleeves and squeeze some lemons!

How To Make Lemonade With Lemon Juice:

We have been having some great Indian summer days here in the Northeast.  As a result, I have been craving my favorite lemonade.  I basically stopped drinking lemonade for quite a while because of all the sugar necessary to make it tasty.  My version is sugar-free and I love the way it tastes!

This summer I decided to experiment and make a very simple lemonade recipe.  I was looking for something that I could make any time and was quick and easy.  As we know, lemons are very tart, so a sweetener is needed.  The sweetener that I found really worked well was Stevia.

So, even though the leaves are dropping left and right and New England is right about the peak for foliage, I am finding this lemonade perfectly refreshing sitting outside in the afternoon sunshine.

I am glad lemonade is back in my life!  It is just one of those things I missed having on a lazy, hot afternoon.
