Turning Lemons into Lemonade
I have been guzzling gallons of my favorite summer beverage during this hot spell. It's another easy one,
and better yet, has no sugar or artificial sweeteners.
How's that possible? See for yourself...

Stevia is a plant. How do you get it into a dropper? How big is the dropper?
LduToit - You can find more information on stevia here.
Thanks, but the product is not available in this country. I will have to experiment on my own.
LduToit- You can check out the "purchase" section (on the right hand side of my website) and they may be able to ship stevia internationally.
Just made liquid Stevia by adding 1tsp of the powder to 3T of water.
We were burning in the yard today. Parched throats. Made your lemonade w the liq Stevia substitute. I needed to add quite a bit more to sweeten. Think I'll order the liquid.
Peace,

Elana,
i have made several recipes of yours and been quite happy. for the carrot cake, i used 1/2 cup applesauce in place of 2 of the eggs. YUMMY and so moist! my father loved the granola! my husband and i love the candy bars. i could go on...anyway, i wonder if you have ever heard of mallomars and if you would be up to the challenge of creating a gluten free/sugar free gourmet version of that cookie. if it is possible, you are the one to do it!

Hi Rebecca-
Thanks so much for stopping by and for all of your feedback. I will put mallomars on my list. Thanks especially for sharing your applesauce substitution which replaced some of the eggs in the carrot cake! What a great idea.

This is very refreshing. My kids love it!
Delicious. I would love to make this with maple syrup or elderflower flavoured honey instead of the stevia. Thanks for the refresh
