Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 large fresh lemons (about 1 cup of juice)
- 1 cup (150 g) mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey (or substitute with maple syrup or sugar)
- 4 cups (1 liter) cold water
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) water for berry puree
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Roll the lemons on the countertop to release their juices, then slice them in half. Juice them using a juicer or by hand to yield about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lemon juice.
- Add 1 cup (150 g) of mixed berries to a blender or food processor along with 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water. Blend until smooth.
- Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the berry puree into a bowl or pitcher to remove seeds and pulp.
- In the pitcher, combine the lemon juice, berry puree, and honey. Start with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of honey, taste, and adjust as needed. Stir well until the honey dissolves.
- Pour in 4 cups (1 liter) of cold water and stir to combine. Adjust water quantity for desired flavor strength.
- Add plenty of ice to the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the blush berry lemonade in glasses filled with ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and extra berries.
