Homemade Pink Lemonade

This tasty treat is a little out of season (more suited to the Summer months) but its so delicious/ refreshing and easy to make, i just had to include it in my blog of tasty temptations now! I first made this drink summer 2013 with my friends and we loved it, so i made it again for my birthday in the July, and unsurprisingly, my family loved it too. 

Ingredients

140g caster sugar

8 lemons

150g raspberries

1/1.2L of boiling water (1.2 litres may reduce the strong flavour of the drink)

Ice to serve

Method

Firstly, peel the zest off all the lemons (like you would do a potato) and remove as much of the white pith as possible from the peeled zest

Then cut the lemons in half and juice them all

Mix the juice of the lemons, the peeled zest, the sugar, raspberries and 1 litre of boiling water together in a bowl

Let the mixture cool, then press the mixture through a sieve with the back of a spoon 

If this drink is too bitter or 'lemony' for you, you can add more sugar to the drink

Pour the mixture into jugs (or empty juice bottles) and put in the fridge to cool properly 

To serve, add a few lemon slices, raspberries and lots of ice.

Yummy!!
