Best Lemonade

The secret to this lemonade recipe is to use simple syrup. The "sugar" is completely dissolved and blends beautifully with the tart lemon.

Simple Syrup:

1 cup water

1 cup splenda


Blend well in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, until splenda dissolves completely. Let cool and refrigerate.

Mix the syrup well with the juice from 4-6 lemons (strained or not, as you like) and stir well. Add 4 cups cold water and mix. Try using sparkling water for some fizz! Pour into thermos or large jug, adding thin lemon slices if you'd like. I like to make more lemonade and freeze it in ice cube trays, adding the cubes to the lemonade so it's never diluted.

Serves 6

I actually added more water because I don't like sweet drinks... but it was quite good. I am thinking of making a slush kind when it gets warmer. I'll let you know
