Raspberry Mint Lemonade

Ingredients

• 2 cups lemon juice

• ½ cup fine sugar

• ¼ cup TAO Rosé Balsamic Vinegar

• 1½ cups frozen raspberries, divided

• 4 cups cold water

• Ice

• Fresh mint and lemon slices for garnish

Mint Simple Syrup

• 20-25 fresh mint leaves

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup water

Directions

1. Make the mint simple syrup. In a small saucepan, stir together sugar, mint leaves, and water and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to help sugar dissolve. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the mint to infuse. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the mint and then pour into an airtight container and cool in the fridge.

2. In a blender add lemon juice, balsamic, 1 cup of Mint Simple Syrup, and 1 cup frozen raspberries. Blend until combined.

3. Pour the lemonade through a fine mesh strainer, into a pitcher. Stir in cold water, ice cubes, and lemon slices. Taste and add simple syrup. Chill in the fridge completely and top up with ice cubes before serving.
