Raspberry Lemonade

Iris Warren

Report

Raspberry Lemonade blends fresh lemon juice with sweetened raspberry puree and a simple syrup to create a refreshing drink. The recipe balances tartness and sweetness, with cold water adjusting the strength to taste. The raspberry seeds are removed for a smooth texture, and extra berries can garnish the beverage.

Description

This Raspberry Lemonade starts by making a simple syrup with sugar dissolved in water, which is then cooled. Fresh raspberries are pureed and strained through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, resulting in a smooth raspberry component. The syrup, raspberry puree, and fresh lemon juice are combined in a pitcher. Cold water is added to dilute and balance flavors depending on individual preference for sweetness and tartness.

The resulting lemonade offers a bright, fruit-forward taste with the natural tang of lemon complemented by the berry's sweetness. It can be served over ice and garnished with whole raspberries if desired, making it a cooling beverage for warm days.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar with 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and heat until the sugar in completely dissolved; swirl the pan occasionally. Let cool.
Measure 3/4 cup of fresh raspberries and puree them in your blender or food processor.
Push the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to separate the seeds from the pulp.
Once the simple syrup has cooled, combine the raspberry puree, simple syrup and lemon juice in a large pitcher.
Add 4-6 cups of cold water. The amount of water you use will depend on your taste, so add as little or as much as you want to achieve your perfect sweet/tart balance.
