I drink a lot of water, and that's about it. I drink a diet soda once in a blue moon, but just isn't very satisfying. I had the Crystal Light before and remember how bland it is. So I decided to get some Lemons and take one and squeeze into the pitcher after being made. Taste a lot better. Plus better for you than diet soda. Thought you all might like to try it. We use to do this to Kool Aid Lemonaid, and it tasted a lot like homemade. Your kids will love that.
