  1. Very good! I'd much rather make my own lemonade than rely on a package full of who knows what. This was quick and easy, and makes a very refreshing drink. I would change the number of servings on the recipe though; the nutrition information is really misleading. At 1 tablespoon per serving, this makes 32 servings at about 48 calories each... Made for ZWT8
     
  2. A very nice, easy and refreshing drink. I can see the syrup being used in many alternative beverages. Made for ZWT8, The Wild Bunch.
