Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 5 cups Water
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 None Lemons
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, and the raspberries break down, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the raspberry mixture from heat, let it cool slightly, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
Step 3
In a large pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, the raspberry syrup, and 4 cups of cold water. Stir well to mix.
Step 4
Slice the lemons into thin rounds and add to the pitcher along with the ice cubes and fresh mint leaves.
Step 5
Stir gently to combine all ingredients and chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Before serving, give it a good stir. Pour the raspberry lemonade over ice in glasses and garnish with additional mint leaves or lemon slices if desired.
Step 7
Enjoy your refreshing raspberry lemonade!
