Base Ingredients

Method

Lemonade Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a lemon squeezer or reamer to extract as much juice as possible. You should have about 1 to 1.5 cups of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Mixing the Sugar

    In a pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Adding Water

    Pour 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher with the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Adding Seasonal Flavors

  1. 4

    Incorporating Mint

    Add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves into the lemonade. Stir gently to release the mint flavor into the drink.

  2. 5

    Adding Seasonal Fruits

    Rinse the raspberries (or other seasonal fruit) and gently add them to the lemonade. Stir lightly to distribute the fruit without breaking them.

  3. 6

    Serving

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
