Day 1095 | No Sugar Lemonade

IMG_5892.JPG

Check out the latest no-sugar recipe I've been working on for MaryCatherineStarr.com: lemonade! I had to make the recipe three times to get it just right, so I hope you motivate yourself to give it a try to make all the hard work worth it.

SUGAR-FREE LEMONADE SLUSH

Prep time: 10 minutes | Yield: About 1 liter (or about 4.25 cups)

Ingredients: 
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (two large lemons)
2 cups no-sugar-added white grape juice
2 cups ice
1 tsp lemon zest (from one of the two lemons)

Directions:

  • Add all ingredients into a blender. Pulse or blend until combined (but not entirely smooth).

  • Serve immediately.

Extra notes:

  • Zest one of the lemons before it is juiced. Zesting a juiced lemon is much more difficult.

  • This recipe makes just the right amount of lemonade for our family of four (two adults and two young kids). If you’re making this for more than three adults, double or triple the recipe.

  • If you don’t have a blender or would rather make regular lemonade (instead of the slush), you can just stir up the ingredients (instead of blend). Leaving it in the refrigerator overnight brings out the lemon flavor even more.
