Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup honey or agave syrup
- 4 cups ice
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of fresh raspberries, 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 cup of honey or agave syrup, 4 cups of ice, and 1 cup of water.
- Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a blender, combine the rinsed raspberries, freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey or agave syrup, and water. This mixture will serve as the base for your frozen lemonade.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth, ensuring that the raspberries are fully pureed and well incorporated with the other ingredients.
- Once the mixture is smooth, add the 4 cups of ice to the blender. Blend again until the ice is crushed and the mixture has a slushy consistency.
- Check the sweetness of your frozen lemonade. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little more honey or agave syrup and blend again until combined.
- Once you achieve your desired consistency and sweetness, pour the raspberry lemonade into glasses. You can garnish with a few whole raspberries or a slice of lemon on the rim for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, healthy raspberry frozen lemonade!
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- For an extra smooth texture, strain the raspberry mixture if you prefer fewer seeds.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like stevia or maple syrup for different flavor profiles.
- Freeze leftover raspberries in advance to make your lemonade even more chilled without diluting the flavor.
- For an adult version, consider adding a splash of vodka or white rum.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water; if too thin, add more ice.
- Serve in chilled glasses to keep your frozen lemonade frosty longer.
- For a decorative touch, freeze some whole raspberries to use as natural ice cubes!
