Ingredients

4 unwaxed lemons

75g caster sugar

10g Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener

1.6 litre sparkling water

Ice, to serve

Method

1
Use a vegetable peeler to cut all the zest off the lemons – try not to peel away any of the pith. Cut the lemons in half and use a lemon juicer to squeeze them. Discard the seeds.
2
Put the juice and zest in a pan. Add the sugar and 750ml cold water. Bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the sweetener and leave to cool, then chill for at least 1 hour.
3
Strain through a sieve into a large jug. To serve, dilute with the sparkling water. Add ice and lemon slices.
