recipe from joythebaker.com adapted from Simply Recipes
1 cup sugar, for a less sweet lemonade, take the sugar down to 3/4 cup
1 cup water to make the simple syrup
1 cup fresh lemon juice
4 cups cold water
2 Tablespoons to 1/4 cup raspberry sauce, depending on how much raspberry you like
Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.
While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.
Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add 4 cups of cold
water, more or less to the desired strength. Add the prepared
raspberry sauce and stir to combine. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. If
the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more
straight lemon juice to it.
Serve over ice.
