Well this is a blessing in these blistering days at home in Western NY. I was looking for a lemondade mix to make at home that was sweet but not too sweet. It was suggested I try yours. I am so glad I did! It is sweet and has loads of lemn flavor. As I wanted to reduce the amount of sugar for healthy reason I cut the sugar in 1/2 the 2nd batch and although less sweet it has tons of flavor from the lemon to make me want tp pucker up. DH likes this part! I LOVE it like this. DH likes it a bit sweeter so he adds in a 1/2 tsp of sugar to his for swetness. I did try it with Truvia in a glass. I like it but not as much. No bitterness after which is great for my diabetic friends and family members. When they come over I mix the lem0nade sans sugar and everyone can add their own. Thank you.
