What a great idea this is...kinda like a flavored simple syrup right? After you make up your drink I bet some fresh strawberries or blueberries would really be a nice compliment to the lemon. Do you think this would work with a sugar substitute like stevia...and if so, do you know what the correct measurement would be for it?
