Tooth-Friendly Treats: Sugar-Free Lemonade Recipe

April 27, 2022 By Wyatt Dilling

Sugar-free lemonade is a delicious summer treat that won’t cause havoc on your teeth! Check out the recipe now.

With spring already here and summer approaching, nothing sounds better than a nice, refreshing glass of lemonade! With the average glass coming in at a whopping 67g of sugar, we wanted to help you by providing a tooth-friendly recipe just in time for the warmer weather!

What you’ll need:

  • ½ Cup of Sugar Alternative (we used Splenda)
  • 4-6 Lemons, juiced
    • Fresh-squeezed lemon juice is a better option than bottled, as bottled may contain added sugars.
  • Ice
  • Up to ½ Gallon of water (can be sparkling!)

Optional:

  • 3-4 Tablespoons of lime juice
  • Mint sprigs and sliced lemons for garnish

How to make:

  • Juice the lemons and transfer the juice to a large pitcher. If you want to add lime juice, do so now.
  • Pour water over lemon juice and refrigerate.
  • Serve over ice, garnish, and enjoy!
