Homemade Raspberry Lemonade
Raspberry lemonade is a delightful and refreshing beverage made by combining the delicious flavors of raspberries and lemons. It's a perfect blend of tartness and sweetness, making it a popular choice during the summer months.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries or frozen raspberries
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 6-8 lemons)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust according to your taste)
- 4 cups water (divided)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by making a raspberry puree. In a blender, combine the raspberries and 1/2 cup of water. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother consistency, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside.
- In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and 3 1/2 cups of water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the raspberry puree to the pitcher and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice, if desired.
- Chill the raspberry lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the raspberry lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
