Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Lemons
- 150 grams Fresh raspberries
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1.25 liters Cold water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 for garnish Lemon slices
Instructions
Start by juicing the lemons to extract about 200 ml of fresh lemon juice. Set this aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and 100 ml of water. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sugar completely dissolves (approximately 5 minutes).
Pass the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid while leaving the seeds behind. Discard the seeds.
In a large jug or pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the strained raspberry syrup, and the remaining cold water (about 1.15 liters). Stir well to combine.
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness, if desired, by adding more sugar or a touch of water.
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher and stir. For an extra touch, garnish with lemon slices.
Serve immediately in glasses filled with additional ice, if desired, and enjoy this refreshing drink!
