Lemon concentrate and water

This is one of those tips that sounds cheap, but I've really enjoyed it.

Instead of lemonade, put a drop of lemon (or lemon concentrate) in water. It's most of the taste, but you aren't drinking a tonne of sugar. I use this to add a bit of flavour to my water in WFH.

Edit: fixed typo. Thanks Jeff.

I use a soda maker and do similar. Just a small amount of co2 and limeade.

That's a good tip! I get bored of just drinking water all day.

Love this, just be careful you're not damaging your teeth with the acidity. I had that issue with kombucha, but if you're just adding a drop of lemon, I guess it's not as damaging!

Edit: Since we are on @frugal, I make my own kombucha!

I've been buying lemons and making my own juice. It's cheaper than the frozen concentrates and tastes a lot better. About $0.70CDN for 2 liters

Is there a typo? Instead of lemonade, use a drop of lemonade?

So, use less lemonade?

Yeah. That's embarrassing. Fixed.
