2
servings10
minutesIngredients
1 cup fresh raspberries
2–3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract or half a vanilla bean (seeds scraped)
Juice of 2 lemons
500 ml cold water
Ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Directions
- In a large pitcher or bowl, combine the raspberries, sugar, and vanilla.
- Stir gently and let it sit for about 20 minutes so the raspberries release their juices.
- Use a fork to mash the raspberries occasionally to enhance the flavor.
- Add the lemon juice and cold water, and mix well.
- Pour through a fine strainer to remove seeds and pulp if desired.
- Serve over ice, garnished with fresh mint and lemon slices.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, strain the lemonade through a fine mesh to remove seeds and pulp. You can also blend the raspberries instead of mashing them by hand. If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the sugar to taste or add a splash of vanilla syrup. This lemonade tastes best when served cold with plenty of ice and looks beautiful with fresh raspberries or mint for garnish.
