Sugar Free Lemonade

Ahh Lemonade. A favorite summertime drink! I came across this recipe for making fresh lemonade a while ago, but since my son's diagnosis with Type 1 Diabetes, we opted to go in search of more sugar free recipes.

That's when I tweaked this recipe.

It truly is a very tasty drink. Great for those hot summer days!
