Quench your thirst with a delicious and healthy lemonade recipe. This recipe is perfect for those hot summer days when you need something refreshing to cool you down. And the best part? It's sugar-free!

Grapefruit and  juice in a tall glass

Ah, lemons! The bright yellow citrus fruit that is oh-so-versatile. Lemons belong to the Rutaceae family and are a hybrid of citron and bitter orange. They come in different types, including Eureka, Lisbon, Meyer, and Femminello, each with a slightly different taste and acidity level.


Lemons have a sour, acidic taste that is similar to limes and grapefruits. They pair well with sweet and savoury dishes alike and can add a refreshing zing to everything from cocktails to seafood.


In terms of nutrition, lemons are a great source of vitamin C, which can help boost your immune system and promote healthy skin. They also contain antioxidants that can help protect against disease and inflammation. And the best part? A single lemon only contains about 24 calories, making it a guilt-free addition to any dish or drink.

So go ahead, squeeze some lemon juice on your salad, add it to your water, or use it to make a tangy marinade. Your taste buds and your body will thank you! But for now, let's try this lemonade recipe.
