How to Make Raspberry Peach Lemonade in Minutes
Grab your blender and toss in ripe peaches and juicy raspberries. Blend until the mixture transforms into a smooth, vibrant liquid that captures summer’s essence.
Pour the fruity mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, gently pressing to extract every drop of flavor. The goal is a silky, seed-free liquid that promises pure refreshment.
In a small pan, create a simple syrup by dissolving sugar in water. Let it simmer briefly until it becomes a light, glossy liquid that will sweeten your drink perfectly.
Combine fresh lemon juice with cold water in a pitcher. Introduce your fruit puree and the cooled syrup, stirring until the colors swirl together into a beautiful, sunset-hued beverage.
Refrigerate your creation until it’s deliciously cold. When serving, consider adding a few fresh berries or a mint leaf to elevate the experience and make your drink Instagram-worthy.
