How’s it going friends? I don’t know about you, but here in Montreal, we’ve “endured” a hot couple of days. With the heat, and especially the smothering humidity that comes with it I found myself craving a refreshing, sugar-free drink. That is how this Keto Lemonade came about.

I will never make regular Lemonade again.

I know there are a lot of Keto newbies out there looking for a drink to cure their keto flu. And in the search for a solution a lot of them have stumbled on Keto Lemonade recipes.

I have to tell you that I’ve never made lemonade to cure my keto flu. I make lemonade because it’s awesome.

The electrolytes are just an added bonus.

How to make Keto Lemonade?

When it comes to making good lemonade, there are only 2 rule you need to follow:

  1. Get the best lemons you can find.
  2. Make sure your lemons are organic.

The organic part is very important. A good lemonade cannot be made without lemon zest. If you use conventional lemons, you will be adding a healthy amount of pesticides and chemicals to your lemonade.

You don’t want that. Therefore, anytime you are following a recipe that calls for lemon zest, make sure that it comes from organic lemons.

The rest is pretty simple.

Zest & juice your lemons. Add water and sweetener and chill for at least 3-4 hours.

That’s pretty much it.

Serving Suggestions

For serving I have two suggestions. I personally prefer serving my lemonade over some frozen berries (raspberries or strawberries are my favorites). Over time, the berries slowly infuse your lemonade and add a gentle fruity flavor to it. You can also drop a few frozen berries in your lemonade and let it gently infuse for a few hours in your fridge.

My wife’s favorite version is more of a classic. She like to infuse her lemonade with a few mint stalks. It’s pretty good!

If you like neither, you can drink it as is. Nothing wrong with that at all. Enjoy!

    Why do you use cream of tartar in the lemonade?

      Hi Lois,

      Cream of tartar is full of minerals which is good if you’re looking to replenish your electrolytes. I prefer it to salt because it’s tasteless 🙂

      Enjoy
