Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Lemons
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 6 cups Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Juice the lemons to extract approximately 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp. Set the juice aside.
In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and 1/4 cup of water. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
In a large pitcher, combine the reserved lemon juice, raspberry juice, and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the remaining water (approximately 5 3/4 cups) to the pitcher and stir to combine.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the pink lemonade over the ice.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, refreshing 'In the Pink Lemonade'!
