Lemonade is perfect any time of the year, but I especially love it when the weather turns warm. And though there are some great mixes out there, there’s nothing quite like homemade, fresh-squeezed lemonade. Squeezing that many lemons isn’t exactly quick and easy, but it’s a labor of love and totally worth it… and it really doesn’t take that long.

When Jack was little he didn’t say lemonade, he said “lemon-lade.” I used to love to give him reasons to say that word. So sweet and cute. I never wanted him to figure out how to say it correctly. But, he did. 🙁 Were there funny things your little ones said incorrectly that you never wanted them to learn the correct pronunciation? Apparently, I said bus-ketti for spaghetti.

Y’all are always asking for low sugar and no sugar recipes and this lemonade is perfect for just that. I shared the original recipe in my cookbook, but this recipe made with Equal® Spoonful 0-calorie sweetener is perfect for those looking for a reduced sugar option. I have several family members dealing with diabetes so this is great way to serve up a delicious beverage option. And since Equal® Spoonful Granulated Sweetener measures just like sugar, there’s no need to figure any measurement calculations. It’s also perfect to use in baking and to sprinkle on cereal and fruit.

The great folks over at Equal® are going to give one lucky Southern Bite reader an #EmbraceYourTaste prize pack! One of you will win a beautiful French coffee press, coffee and tea canisters from Crate & Barrel, an Equal® tumbler, and a hefty supply of Equal® to make your favorite beverages!
