Loved this!!I have to make a huge batch though, 2 servings isnt enough. And people 3/4 sugar when using real lemons is not extreme.

Use Splenda, Aspartame, stevia, or saccharine?

My husband and I use 5 cups of water 1 cup of fresh lemon juice and either 1 cup of sugar or splenda. We bring the splenda down to 3/4 cup. My husband likes it tarter.

Can you use water instead of Club Soda? I just cannot stand the taste of Club Soda.
