This recipe for Stevia Lemonade is incredibly refreshing, delicious, and perfectly sweet thanks to our favorite zero-calorie sweetener!
Sommer’s Recipe Notes
My son Carson is an adult now, but as a child he had an absolute sweet tooth. (Ok, not much has changed there.) For years, he would come home from school and immediately started sifting through the pantry, hunting for a sweet snack. When no sugar is to be found he’d ask, “Can I make lemonade?”
Me: “Baby, you don’t need all that sugar.”
Carson: “How about “Stevia Lemonade??”
I always gave in. And why not? After all, stevia is a natural zero-calorie sweetener that tames any sweet tooth without spiking sugar levels like crazy! Due to Carson’s persistent routine of hunting for sugary snacks, then making himself a beverage, he had gotten to be very very good at making Stevia Lemonade. So much so, it’s now been our family’s go-to method for making lemonade for nearly a decade!

Nope! The end result will be the same. Use whichever you prefer, just keep in mind that liquid stevia can be more concentrated.
Sure you can! Just make sure to stir before serving.
Pour in some sparkling water and you’ll have an epic mocktail!
Sugar Twin stevia can be used spoon for spoon ;works in any drinks I’ve tried. But it contains EAYTHRITOL which is why it isn’t too sweet,but which you might choose to avoid.
I really enjoy this recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you Carson and Carson’s mom, Sommer! I have all these lemons because I like keeping them in the kitchen but don’t want them to go to waste. And like Carson, I have a major sweet tooth but I’m on a strict diet.
I’ve always loved good, tart lemonade, but also am someone who must keep an eye on his sugar intake and waistline. As such, I’ve found this to be a great recipe. I enjoy lemonade throughout the year, even in winter. Thanks to Carson for coming up with this idea.
Fabulous! Best ever! Wonderful recipe! It’s gonna be 95° tomorrow & this lemonade will be a super hit! Thank you.
