homemade lemonade

my friend brought this to lunch one day and it was so refreshing. i loved it because it wasn't overly sweet and it was perfectly tart. i love adding fresh mint leaves or ground cloves to lemonade for something different once in a while.

5 quarts water
3 C sugar
2 T citric acid
1 T lemon abstract.

We've started using liquid stevia as our sweetener for things like lemonade...have you tried that? one or two squirts instead of cups and cups of sugar. Its awesome because stevia doesn't raise your glycemic index!
