I used Splenda easily. This recipe is SUPER easy. The only work involved in it was squeezing the lemons (I'm a purist - I use only fresh juices whenever possible) and zesting them. This is TASTY. The taste rival (if not surpasses) the taste of Minute Maid and Country Time (even with Splenda). My parents also loved it. It tastes good straight up or as a lemon spritzer (mixed with equal parts club soda) and it doesn't lose it's flavor or bite. This is my PERMANENT lemonade recipe. I will forever swear by this. Thank you Drago!! ;)
