Lemon or Lime Soda for those who hate artificial Sweetners
I made this when I got tired of not being able to drink diet drinks. You see, I can't stand how much sweetner they put in all them. I tried watering them down, but eventually I end up with mostly water. So, here is a recipe for a Lemon or Lime Soda with you in control of the sweetness. It should be induction approved coming in with .5 to 2 carbs depending on the sweetner used and how lemony you want your drink.
1 8oz bottle of Club Soda or simililar (0 carbs) ~ If you use tonic water it will have more carbs
1-2 packets True Lemon or True Lime (found in Walmart next to sweetners) (.5-1 carbs)
1/2-1 packet Stevia (carbs depend on brand)
Stevia can be substituted with your favorite artificial sweetner. I have a brand that has zero carbs so I use it.
The completed drink almost tastes like Sprite or 7-up. I'm not sure how to make one taste like a coca-cola, but I welcome any ideas.
