Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces carbonated water chilled
  • 3-5 drops liquid stevia or 1/8 tsp powdered stevia
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about half of a small lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice about half of a small lime

Method
 

Prepare The Base
  1. Pour 12 ounces (1.5 cups) of chilled carbonated water into a glass, pitcher, or soda siphon for ease of mixing.
Add the Sweetener
  1. Begin with 3–5 drops of liquid stevia or 1/8 tsp of powdered stevia. Stir thoroughly until dissolved. Taste and add more if you'd like it sweeter.
Incorporate The Lemon And Lime Juices
  1. Squeeze 2 tablespoons (about half of a small lemon) of fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice (about half of a small lime). Add both to the sparkling water and stir gently to preserve the carbonation.
Enhance The Flavor
  1. If you're using citrus extracts, add 1–2 drops of lemon or lime extract to intensify the flavor. If using citric acid, add a small pinch (about 1/8 tsp) and stir until dissolved.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Add ice cubes if desired and serve immediately in your favorite glass.
