A Little Time and a Keyboard: Fresh Raspberry Lemonade

Fresh Raspberry Lemonade

Wednesday, July 18, 2012

After having some raspberry lemonade at the movies this weekend, my daughter was inspired to make some at home. We dropped the sugar and came up with a refreshing version. This recipe is super easy and perfect for the hot days ahead!

Ingredients:

2 large lemons, juiced (enough for 1 cup of fresh lemon juice)
2/3 cup raspberries, rinsed
4 cups cold water



Directions:

First, I juiced our lemons and put the juice aside. Next, I put our rinsed raspberries into a bowl and mashed them a little.


Then, I pushed the raspberries through a strainer into a bowl so that we would get the juice and not the seeds.


After, I poured the raspberry juice and lemon juice into a large measuring cup. I then filled the measuring cup with water until it held 5 cups. Then, I chilled our concoction. We enjoyed it a little while later! A cool treat without the added sugar!
