No, not that Fruit20 stuff. Tried it, didn't like it. This is my own concoction. Took a 1 liter Dasani bottle, added a few tablespoons of lemon juice and of lime juice, 20 drops of clear stevia extract, and refilled with filtered tap water. It's not too sweet, and has just the hint of lemon-lime flavor to it.

Downside, that finished off my lemon juice, so the next batch will be lime only. Oh, and DO NOT try a drop of stevia extract straight. GAAAAH the SWEET!!! With an undertone of GAAAHH the HERBAL!!! When they say this stuff is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, they mean it!!! I flushed out my mouth with water and was still tasting sweet on the tongue.

What's stevia? You mention it's herbal. Is the plant's name "stevia"?

Yup. I've been using it rather than sugar, honey, or artificial sweeteners in my teas and whatnot. Wikipedia has a good article on it. It's 250-300 times sweeter than sugar.
