Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 gallon lemonade
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup fresh red raspberries *may use frozen if desired
  • 1-2 mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  • Pour water and sugar into a small pot set over medium-low heat.
  • Stir continously with a whisk until the sugar fully dissovles, about 2 minutes.
  • Add in the red raspberries and stir frequently until they start to lose their form and relase their juices, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Use a strainer to seperate out the remaining raspberry chunks. Once most of the liquid is out, gently press with a spoon.
  • Pour the red raspberry syrup into the lemonade and stir.
  • Serve the lemonade in glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with mint leaves, raspberries, and lemon wedges if desired.
