Prep Time 10 minutesminutes
Cook Time 2 minutesminutes
Total Time 12 minutesminutes
Servings 8cups of lemonade
Ingredients
1cupFresh Raspberries
1cup Fresh Lemon Juice(~ 6 large lemons)
2TbspLime Juice(~ 1/2 lime)
1tspVanlla Extract
3/4cupSugar(granulated)
6cupsWater
Ice Cubes
Lemon Slices, Raspberries, & Fresh Mint Leaves for garnish
Instructions
Add the raspberries, half the lemon juice, lime juice, sugar, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor. Blend the mixture together until incorporated and the sugar has completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Strain the mixture into a pitcher with a fine mesh strainer to separate the raspberries seeds and pulp from the juice.
Add the water and the rest of the lemon juice into the pitcher and stir until combined.
Pour into cups and serve with ice cubes. Garnish with a lemon slice, a few fresh raspberries, and a sprig of mint.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
Adding the sugar into the blender with the raspberries and lemon juice in Step 1 WILL add a bit of froth to your lemonade. If you prefer your raspberry lemonade froth-free, omit the sugar in Step 1 and add it to the lemonade in Step 3. Note that this will require quite a bit more stirring to completely dissolve the sugar.
