When it comes to drinks, plain water is fine with me. But at times I crave something refreshing like this Sugar-Free Ginger Lemonade. It is made with just fresh lemon juice, freshly grated ginger, water and sweetener. I used a low carb sweetener, but if you prefer regular sugar, you ca use it instead. Fill a glass with ice and pour the lemonade over it.

I’ve been drinking a lot of ginger tea lately. The truth is that my keto journey was quite bumpy for the first 4-5 weeks and my stomach wasn’t doing well at first, plus I had very low energy.

This is why I started having homemade ginger tea with lemon. It made me less nauseous and kind of gave me some energy. Things are a lot better now.

Other benefits of lemon-ginger tea/lemonade are that it has an immune boosting, fever reducing and blood sugar regulating properties.

Since the weather has gotten so hot in the last two weeks, I decided to turn my ginger lemon tea into a ginger lemonade. It turned out perfect.

  1. Looks delicious! I love ginger and lemon. But why does it only keep good in the fridge for two days?

    1. Hi, I haven’t kept it in the fridge for longer and I don’t know if it will be ok. Generally homemade lemonade tastes best when fresh.
