Homemade Raspberry Mint Lemonade Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup raspberries
- mint leaves
- 3 cups cold water
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 6 cups of ice cubes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 0 minutes
Yield: 6 cups
Instructions for the Homemade Raspberry Mint Lemonade Recipe:
- Start by squeezing out the juice of your fresh lemons using a lemon squeezer
- Next, start to puree the raspberries and 2 teaspoons of mint. Then pour the contents in a strainer.
- In a sauce pan, add the sugar and a 1/2 cup of water heating in on medium heat until the sugar dissolves (about 5 minutes or so). This will be the base of your lemonade.
- Remove it from the heat.
- Stir in the other 3 cups of cold water and the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Divide the ice between 12 glasses and add a few spoonfuls of puree first, then top with the lemonade. Gently stir it before serving.
Voila! That’s it!
TIP #1: I like to sugar coated the rim of each glass with colored sugar crystals.
Tip #2: If you are not getting the color you desire for your drink, simple add some food coloring! I like the Wilton food colors because they are vibrant!
Skinny Raspberry Mint Lemonade:
When I am trying to watch my calorie intake I use a different method for making this recipe. There are all different kinds of Raspberry and Lemon Liquid drink mixes that have no calories (or have very few calories). I use these mixes to create a Raspberry Mint Lemonade drink and serve it with ice. Perfect for those wanting a “skinny” lemonade recipe.
Hard Raspberry Mint Lemonade:
Simple add any alcohol you want to either above recipe to create your favorite hard lemonade drink.
