Raspberry-Grape Punch

It's official.  I am sick of plain water! Decided to experiment a little.

Start With

• 1 Pkg Unsweetened Grape KoolAid
• 3/4 C Stevia (not the packets - the stuff that measures like sugar)
• 2 Qts. of Cold Water/Ice

Mix koolaid as you normally would.  I am a huge fan of Pampered Chef's Quick-Stir pitchers with the built in mixer things.

Add 1-2tsp. of DaVinci or Torani Sugar Free Raspberry Flavored Syrup to your glass of KoolAid with plenty of ice. (If your kids like it or if there are no rug rats to please you could add about 1/4 c. right into the pitcher.) 

I think it would also taste great in:

• Sugar Free KoolAid/Lemonade
• Homemade Lemonade with Fresh Lemons and Stevia
• Club Soda
• Plain Water

 

The Torani Syrup I used has 1g carb/oz (about 6 teaspoons)

Sparkling Lime Soda

I saw this recipe on a website for HEB's Central Market (fancy version of a normal HEB grocery store). It blew my mind that they would put cumin in a drink, so I had to try it out of sheer curiosity. It will be something you will either REALLY like, or REALLY dump down the drain... hopefully you will like it! :)

• Soda Water -well chilled
  (I used Perrier, because it's what I had at home)
• Juice from 1/2 a lime
• Ice
• Pinch of cumin
• 1/2 pkt Stevia
