An Alternative Drink

I'm trying my best to avoid Diet Pepsi that I don't really like, but is starting to grow on me. I'm not supposed to drink regular sugared drinks because I am pre-diabetic. Juice is also a no-no because it's got too much sugar.

So what to drink? Well, I've never been a huge plain water drinker although I do drink it now. I'm just craving something else. I want something that would perk up my dinner.

We have two Myer lemon trees with fruit right now. I've discovered that my aunt and brother love lemons. My nephew will even squeeze out lemon juice and drink it straight. Yikes! It makes my eyes water just thinking about it.

I can't drink lemonade because... well... the sugar. Lately I've come up with something I really do enjoy although Art thinks I'm a little crazy to pay so much for water with bubbles. He drinks water plain without any ice and loves it that way. It's the better, healthier way; he can be so annoying sometimes.

Anyway, here's my recipe.
I get carbonated water like Perrier and pour it over ice with a little regular water to stretch it. Then I squeeze in a slice of lemon and it's really nice. The little fizz buzz makes it special. My mother is loving it, too!

I recommend it!
