I created this combination as an alternative to water that is not sugar sweetened or artificially sweetened. I've always enjoyed the drinks in glass bottles like Snapple or Arizona Ice Tea or Fuze drinks.
The problem is that there are not any drinks that I have found in glass bottles that are sweetened with Stevia, the only natural artificial sweetener. It is actually made from the Stevia plant. So I save the glass drink bottles and wash in the dishwasher. Wash caps by hand so they do not rust.
What I enjoy is fresh lemon juice squeezed and sweetened with Stevia.
When the fresh juice is not readily available, I use unsweetened Kool-Aid lemonade packets.
Black Currant Lemonade
1 packet Kool-Aid lemonade
three droppers of liquid Stevia (available at Sprouts or health food stores)
2 quarts of water
1-2 cups of unsweetened Black Currant juice
(Other juices I use are Just Cranberry, Just Pomegranate, Just Raspberry.
I get my juices at Trader Joes or Sprouts. They have no added sweetener.)
Fill recycled glass drink bottles and refrigerate.
Enjoy a wonderfully chilled, refreshing and healthy beverage!
