Preparation
Prepare the Prickly Pear
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the ends of each prickly pear. Make a lengthwise cut in the skin and peel it away. Remove the seeds and chop the fruit into small pieces.
Blend the Prickly Pear
Place the chopped prickly pear fruit into a blender. Add 1 cup of water and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to separate the juice from the pulp.
Mix the Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the strained prickly pear juice, fresh lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add Water
Pour in the remaining 3 cups of water into the pitcher and mix well. Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
Serving
Serve the Lemonade
Fill glasses with ice and pour the prickly pear lemonade over the ice. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon.
Enjoy
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing prickly pear lemonade!
