Herb Lemonade

This sugar-free lemonade recipe is easy to make in big batches for a summer crowd. Serve it from a clear drink dispenser to show off the beautiful herbs and keep the stems out of your guests glasses.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 gallon filtered water

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice

  • Stevia to taste

  • Herbs of choice : suggestions include lavender, dill, rosemary, basil and mint

Instructions:

  1. Add herbs and a small portion of stevia to a clear drink dispenser.

  2. Add lemon juice and water.

  3. Test for desired balance of sweet, tart, and herbs. Adjust ingredients as necessary.

Tips:

  • Start with a small amount of stevia (either powder or drops)... you can always add more as you go.

  • If using leafy herbs such as mint or basil, add them to your container first and crush the leaves a bit with a muddler. This releases the oils and flavors the lemonade more quickly.

  • If using more delicately sized herbs such as lavender or rosemary, leave the herbs intact on their stem.
