Ingredients
Below is an overview of the ingredients and instructions for this recipe. Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best, but bottled lemon juice will also work.
- Raspberries – Make sure to use fresh tart raspberries! Frozen raspberries won’t have as much flavor.
- Sweetener – We use monk fruit sweetener to keep the sugar content minimal. However, granulated sugar will also work. To enhance the raspberry flavor even further, feel free to use raspberry syrup instead.
- Water – This dilutes the ingredients so that the lemonade isn’t super overpowering.
How to Make Raspberry Lemonade
- Cut the lemons in half and juice them into a half-gallon mason jar.
2. Add the raspberries and ½ cup of water to a blender and purée until smooth.
3. Place a fine mesh sieve over the lemon juice jar. Pour the raspberry mixture into it to catch most of the seeds.
4. Pour in the sweetener, stir to dissolve, and adjust to taste.
5. Pour the remaining water into the jar
6. Stir to combine and enjoy over ice.
