Step 1

Bring one cup of water to a low boil in a small sauce pan. Once water is hot, whisk in sweetener and electrolytes (if using). Continue to stir until the sweetener has fully dissolved to create a simple syrup. **See notes.

Step 2

Remove the simple syrup from the heat. Pour in to a pitcher and add the lemon juice and 2 cups of cold water.

Step 3

Taste at this time and add any additional sweetener to taste.

Step 4

Pour over ice and serve.
