Tasty!

After squeezing nine lemons (with the assistance of Katie and Julie) and adding a lot of Splenda and water, daisy_knotwise has produced a rather nice pitcher of lemonade. :)

We've been having fun mixing various flavors of vinegar (you'd be impressed by the varieties that are available, including pineapple & even chocolate) with a .25 tsp of stevia in 2 quarts of water. Our kids were a bit reticent to try it at first, but now they like it too. Sadly, the chocolate vinegar doesn't make a good drink, but the black cherry & the fig vinegars are great.

Before getting too weirded out by this; lemonade is acid, sugar & water. Vinegar is acid. Stevia is several hundred times sweeter than sugar &, since one uses it in such small quantities, has a whole lot fewer calories. and water is water.

If anyone wants the recipe, we will share it.

I did something similar myself this morning, except it was only three lemons and two limes, and I used Stevia.

So, are you more or less using the same ratios as in lemonade (we usually use 1 cup lemon juice for a two quart pitcher + sweetener to taste)?

Not quite

Only a quarter to a third of a cup of vinegar is necessary. Some vinegars are stronger than others, and might go better on the lighter side.
