  2. Hi, zombie! Unfortunately the sugar free limeade and lemonade concentrate have to be made from scratch. In this day and age you'd think these would be sold at stores! Try this:

    Ingredients: 1 cup of fresh lime or lemon juice, 1 1/2 cup of granulated sucralose sweetener (Splenda or other brand) and 1 1/2 cup of water.

    Make a simple syrup, combining the sweetener and water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until the sweetener has completely dissolved. Strain through a coffee filter to remove any sediments. Add lime or lemon juice to simple syrup. Use what you need and freeze the rest for future use!

    Hope this helps! :)
