Lacto Fermentted lemonade

Lacto Fermented Lemonade (A real food lover blog)

1 dozen organic lemons

1/2 cup sugar (you can use any sweetener except honey)

1 gallon purified water

1/4-1/2 cup whey

Mix lemon juice, water, sugar and whey. Stir to dissolve sugar.

Cover pitcher with cloth or paper towel and hold in place with a rubber band. Leave at room temperature for 48 hours. After 48 hours approximately 1.6% of the sugar will remain, the rest will have been metabolized by the bacteria,  making this a 98.4% sugar/carb free beverage.

Refrigerate and drink up. You may like more sugar in yours, but we love it tart and only very slightly sweet. Experiment for the right combination for your taste buds.
