Fresh Start: Refreshing Lemonade (Vegan, Healthy and SUGAR-FREE)

Hello, folks!
Its us, Sofia, Reham and Spring here with you tonight and today, we are going to share one of our special secrets to making delicious, refreshing lemonade which is 100% GUILT FREE. It is an ideal drink for a hot summer's day or as a party drink.Most of the commercial lemonades nowadays contain artificial flavours and other additives, but who said that you can't make your own lemonade in just 5 minutes?

Here's how...

You will need:

• 2-3 lemons
• 1-2 limes (optional)
• sweeteners of your choice (stevia, xylithol, honey or cononut sugar, or agave.) Honey is not considered vegan to most people, so it is your choice to use it or not.
• fresh, portable water
• sliced lemons
• grapefruit juice (a few teaspoons) OPTIONAL.
• Whole or crushed ICE from portable water (optional).

Method:

1. Make sure the water is clean and filtered if necessary. Set it aside. 
2. Take the lemons and limes and use either a mechanical juices or hand citrus juices to produce a few cups of lemon and lime juice.
3. There is no specific ratio as to how each ingredients need to be used because it depends on the amount of sweetness or sourness that everyone wants. Mix some juice into the water with the capacity of your own choice.
4. Stir or blend in the sweeteners. If you use honey, a tablespoon will be enough. For xylithol, a cup will be enough for a Four cup ratio. (I started writing four with a capital letter after having to read Divergent...LOL). The coconut sugar can be used at any quantity, but for a Four cup amount, 3-5 tablespoons will be fine. Stevia is probably one of the most practical sweeteners. It is light, but very strong. 3-7 droplets of liquid stevia will be enough for the lemonade. For agave nectar or syrup, use the indication at the back of the bottle or improvise!
5. After having added the sweeteners, you may add a few spoons of grapefruit juice if you desire a more pinky and cuter colour into the lemonade. But this step is completely OPTIONAL.
6. If its summer and you urgently need a refreshing drink of lemonade, then make sure you add a few cubes or ice or a few spoons of crushed ice into your glass and ENJOY the bliss!
