Our easy homemade Raspberry Lemonade recipe uses frozen raspberries and fresh lemons, making it a sweet and tangy drink perfect for any time of the year!
Heat 1 cup of frozen raspberries and 1 cup of sugar over medium heat until the mixture is warm and bubbly. Be careful not to overcook!
Pour the raspberry syrup through a mesh strainer to remove the seeds. If you don’t mind small seeds and pulp in your lemonade, skip this step.
While the raspberry syrup is cooling, fill a pitcher with 7 cups of cold water. Slice 8 lemons, then use a lemon juicer to squeeze the juice directly into the pitcher. Stir in the fragrant raspberry syrup.
Taste the lemonade. If it’s too sour, add sugar one tablespoon at a time until the lemonade has reached desired sweetness. If it’s too sweet, add some more lemon juice.
Enjoy your homemade lemonade! Best served ice-cold!
Tip: Some of the sugar tends to stay behind in the raspberry pulp, so I usually add another 2–4 tablespoons of sugar to the lemonade after adding the syrup.
