Let’s talk about lemons!

Lemons are both low in calories and low in carbs, which makes them an awesome keto fruit choice. They’re also a great source of vitamin C and citric acid. I love making both sweet and savory dishes using fresh lemons. They add such a fresh element to all kinds of recipes. You can add some lemon juice to water for a refreshing change up to plain water. Lemons are also great to add to dips, dressings, and sauces. They also make a wonderful addition to desserts and smoothies. For this lemonade, I used fresh lemon juice as it adds the most amazing fresh taste. I recommend using fresh lemon juice if possible, but in a pinch, you can use bottled lemon juice. Another fun option for this drink is to use fresh lemon juice with a little fresh lime juice!

How can I control the tartness level of this keto hot spiced lemonade?

Everyone has their own taste preference for how tart and how sweet they like their lemonade. The same will hold true for this keto hot spiced lemonade. As written, I think this drink is sweet with a nice touch of tartness. If you’d like a drink that is more on the tart side, you can add even more fresh lemon juice. If you’d like a sweeter drink, you can add more keto sugar. For both my sugars, I used the Swerve brand. This sugar has zero calories and zero net carbs. It’s also incredibly similar in its sweetness level to regular sugar. I used an equal amount of keto brown and keto granulated sugar. You can add more of either the brown or granulated sugar to increase the sweetness level of your drink.

Do you have any tips for making this keto hot spiced lemonade?

This is an incredibly easy recipe, but I do have a few tips for making it so it will turn out perfectly. First, after juicing your lemons, I recommend you strain your juice so you won’t end up with any pulp in your drink. Next, when adding your whole cloves and whole allspice, you can just toss them with the cinnamon sticks into the saucepan. You’ll then want to strain your spiced lemonade and discard the cloves, allspice, and cinnamon. Alternately, you can place your cloves and allspice in a small piece of cheesecloth, tie it with some kitchen string, and add it to the saucepan. Then you can simply discard the cheesecloth and the whole cinnamon sticks before serving your drink. Last, if you’d like, you can easily double this recipe. You will want to refrigerate any leftover lemonade.
