Description
This homemade sugar free lemonade recipe offers a vibrant, tangy, and refreshing drink with a beautiful ruby ripple from hibiscus. It’s easy to make with natural ingredients, perfect for hot days and guilt-free hydration.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water, for steeping the hibiscus flowers
- 0.25 cup dried hibiscus flowers (or 5 g)
- 0.5 cup erythritol (or preferred granular sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from approx. 4–5 large lemons)
- 6 cups cold filtered water
- ice cubes, for serving
- 1–2 thin lemon wheels, for garnish
- a few dried hibiscus petals, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Hibiscus Infusion: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Remove from heat, add dried hibiscus flowers, and steep for 10-15 minutes until deep ruby red.
- Sweeten Ruby Ripple: Strain hibiscus liquid, discarding flowers. While warm, stir in 0.5 cup erythritol until dissolved. Set aside to cool completely to form the concentrated ruby ripple.
- Combine Lemon Water: In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and 6 cups cold filtered water. Stir well.
- Create Ripple Effect: Slowly pour the cooled hibiscus infusion into the pitcher of lemonade. Do not stir vigorously; a gentle swirl or just letting it settle creates beautiful streaks of color.
- Chill Thoroughly: Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve Elegantly: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour lemonade over ice, ensuring ripples are visible. Garnish with a thin lemon wheel and a few dried hibiscus petals.
Notes
If sweetener doesn’t dissolve, gently rewarm. For convenience, use bottled 100 percent lemon juice or prepare hibiscus liquid ahead. For a sparkling version, use seltzer or club soda. Add cranberry/raspberry juice for a pink lemonade. Store chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
