Ingredients

4 Pink Lemons
sweetener *see notes
2 quarts water divided
optional: 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon beet root powder

Instructions

Wash and squeeze lemons
Boil 1 cup of water, add to sugar, stirring well, add 7 more cups water
Add pink lemon juice
If desired add 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of beet root powder to make your drink more pink!

Notes

As for the sweetener, my children prefer organic cane sugar but they will happily drink it with Stevia or Erythritol. I choose products like stevia or erythritol from Pyure to keep my carb count down.

1/2 - 3/4 cup organic cane sugar
about 1/2 cup of Pyure Organic granulated erythritol
7-8 packets Pyure Organic Stevia (taste as you go to get it the level of sweetness you prefer)

Pink lemons will give you a beautiful light pink drink, however if you want a pinker drink, try adding 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of pure beet root powder. This can be found in the bulk spice sections of many health food shops. Locally, I get ours from Three Rivers Market.

If you can't find Pink Lemons just use regular lemons and add more beetroot powder!
