The Most Refreshing Summer Drink: Raspberry Lemonade

My raspberry lemonade can be made with fresh or frozen raspberries and takes just 10 minutes to prepare. It’s incredibly refreshing and perfect for sipping all summer long!
Recipe: sugarspunrun.com/raspberry-le...
Ingredients
6 cups water, divided (1.4 L)
8 oz raspberries (fresh or frozen) (226g)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (236ml)

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
02:18 Combine 1 cup (236ml) of water with raspberries and granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
03:06 Stir frequently until sugar is dissolved and raspberries release their juices (raspberries will become very soft and should break into pieces).
04:43 Pour through a fine mesh strainer into your pitcher (or into a separate bowl, if it’s not easy to strain directly into pitcher). Use a spoon or spatula to press as much juice through the strainer as possible. Discard remaining seeds.
05:42 Add lemon juice and remaining 5 cups (1.2L) water to the pitcher. Stir well.
06:30 Serve immediately poured over ice or chill well before serving. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Always stir before serving lemonade.

I always zest my lemons and add it to the sugar so the natural oils will be absorbed into the sugar and help make the lemonade even more lemony delicious.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Great idea! :)

[@zinsmcfarland8187]

Oh my I'm definitely going to try this one as I was thinking also making a batch and freezing to make a slushy or using the second batch as ice cubes in the pitcher. Thanks for the idea.

[@lorrem2539]

I find juicing the old fashion way, with a reamer, yields more juice plus you can save the seeds and plant them.

[@angelatruly]

Wow that looks so good. I am thirsty now! Yes I am guilty of harboring a bottle of ReaLemon 😮😅.

[@vallang4832]

I can’t wait to make this. I always make fresh lemonade by the glass.

It's june and this drink is the one.

[@SugarSpunRun]

It's PERFECT for summer!

[@pitbull1026]

Since this is strained I wonder if lemon zest would intensify the lemon flavor too? This would be perfect with your ice cube recipe☺

[@SugarSpunRun]

I think it's perfect the way it is, but feel free to add your own twist 😊

[@julietruesdell.371]

Add ginger and some tequila and delicious!

[@andrewjackson9417]

Cooking with The Sith. Cool.

[@nicolenew1708]

😊😊😊

[@AditiNath1234]

👍👍👍

[@susanhammitt7080]

I also pop my lemon in to the microwave for 10s , then roll and then squeeze. That gets the max juice for me .

[@SugarSpunRun]

Love that trick! 🍋

[@pclem4686]

I never tried raspberry lemonade 🍋, Is it going to be good like Strawberry, lemonade?

[@reneah5215]

Could you use strawberries the exact same way you did with the raspberries & the same 8 oz amount?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I actually have a separate strawberry lemonade recipe. It's a little different 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qorcd3mAhtSbY68

[@machetedonttweet1343]

Add one pint of good Vodka and you're in business.

[@SugarSpunRun]

🤣

[@mehjabeenjable3632]

Would it work

[@mehjabeenjable3632]

Hi this is a strawberry juice, ? Could I substitute if I want other flavors, i want apple juice so i replace the raspberry for apples, il liquidise my apple in my blender with the sugar and water

[@seanrico7406]

Would you say honey Taste just as good in sweetness or would you be better off using sugar for optimal flavor ?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I personally much prefer sugar to honey here

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

Can this lemonade also be made with strawberries?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I actually have a separate strawberry lemonade recipe! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qorcd3mAhtSbY68

@@SugarSpunRun thanks

[@Javaman92]

Sam, I bought a squeezer and it's terrible! It's tiny. 😕 Can you recommend one? 😁

[@SugarSpunRun]

I just added the one I use to the description for you. :)

[@Javaman92]

@@SugarSpunRun THANK YOU!!! 😀

[@Javaman92]

@@SugarSpunRun It's on the way! lol

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen2448]

How long does this lemonade stay good for?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Up to 5 days 😊

[@kiki83doll]

Storebought lemon juice really is the worst. Fresh is always better 🍋.

[@m.d.b.6318]

Clicked on recipe and the website has many floating and chading ads. Not a good thing.

[@SugarSpunRun]

What do you mean by chading ad? There shouldn’t be any floating ones…

[@betorockmetal]

You're beautiful
