Pour water into a small saucepan, and stir in Splenda Sweetener. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring continually.
Turn off heat and stir in lemon zest and juice. Let syrup set for 30-40 minutes to soak up the lemon flavor.
Pour syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer into a glass jar. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. The syrup will keep 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
