Holy deliciousness

Lemonade isn't really a thing we do in New Zealand, but I'm going to cup day tomorrow (thats fancy fancy horse races for those of you not in the know) and it's byo. I was craving something lemony and delicious but not full of sugar like most of the rtd's out there, and seeing as I just so happened to have bought some liquid sucaryl yesterday, I figured trying to make a less calorific version of lemonade was in order :)

I'm pretty delighted with the results, the sucaryl is indistinguishable from actual sugar as far as I can tell, and I can see myself sitting out in the yard drinking this baby in a sun dress... maybe having a barbeque. Ahhhh summer - it's the best season of them all.

ANYWAY the recipe below is to make up a concentrate, which I've mixed in with some water but I'm anticipating will be equally yummy tomorrow with water + vodka... I know I know.. alcohol is calories.. I'm bad and naughty and wrong... tut tut.

2 table spoons of liquid sucaryl
1 cup of water
1 cup of lemon juice (I used meyers)

Mix the water and sucaryl in a pot and heat it up to bubbling but not quuuuite a boil. Take it off the heat and then pour your lemon juice straight into that. Straing it, and chill... bam! easy lemonade concentrate.

I think next time if I make it I'd put a little more lemon juice in because I love really tart drinks, but other than that I'm pretty happy with what I've achieved here. Feel free to tune in guys, if you have any suggestions or questions yeah?
