I made this with Truvia instead of sugar. Googling told me use 24 packets to equal one cup of sugar. I don't know if the salt really did anything, honestly, but we all liked it. We liked it so much that we all drank the whole pitcher in just an hour. Next time, I think I might add a quarter cup more lemon juice as it was a little on the sweet side, but it's really good as is. NOTE: I used Meyer lemons.

Add a cup less water and 1/4 cup less sugar; no need to boil the water as far as I could tell, nothing grainy. Yum!

I gave it a 5 star rating because the salt was an excellent idea to keep it from tasting bitter. I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup and was still plenty sweet. We like our lemonade a little more lemony so adding more lemon juice was better for us.....great recipe though...I'm glad I tried it!

My kids are always asking for this lemonade. I tried serving them the powdered kind, but they couldn't stand it after tasting this recipe. Thanks!

Yes, it's not bitter. It's also not lemony. Next time, I'll try adding considerably more lemon juice, possibly cut the sugar a little. I think the salt might be helpful but everything was overwhelmingly sweet, in my opinion, and lacked lemon.

Very easy, very delicious. I will NEVER use frozen lemonade concentrate again. This simple recipe is just as simple (although you do have to plan ahead to let the water chill), yet tastes better by far! No bitterness, no tang, just sweet lemony goodness...
