    Lemonade with Raspberry Ice Cubes...

    Why not enjoy a tall, ice-cold glass of Lemonade but with a twist? Raspberry Ice Cubes add just a hint of fruity flavor and sweetness to the tart drink.

    Using a simple syrup to mix with the lemonade guarantees a smooth drink. Simple syrup is equal parts water and sugar.

    I have to be honest here, most of the time I use a good quality bottled lemon juice. If you want to squeeze all those lemons then feel free!

    As for the ice cubes…

    Raspberry Ice Cubes are super delicious. The combination with the lemonade is outstanding and the process is simple.

    The raspberries are added to a simple syrup made with water and sugar. They're cooked just until they're softened then they're put through a sieve to get rid of the seeds. Then they're poured into an ice cube tray and put in the freezer. This is where you need to prep ahead.

    If you want to avoid the straining and don’t mind the seeds and pulp clouding the lemonade, then you can just add them to the ice tray as is. You will have more than 2 cups because the pulp will add to the volume.

    The Lemonade as is also makes a delicious drink...

    For the Lemonade…

    The sugar is dissolved first in boiling water then mixed with the remaining ingredients.

    Don't be intimidated by the number of steps. The process is simple. The only thing you need is patience allowing time for ice cubes to freeze.

    You can double or triple the recipe if serving for a party.

    Be happy, eat well...

    Ingredients

    For the Raspberry Ice Cubes:

    • 1 cup water
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • 1 pint (2 cups) fresh or frozen raspberries

    For the Lemonade:

    • 1 cup water
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 2 cups lemon juice - fresh squeezed or good quality bottled
    • 6 cups cold water

    Instructions

    For the Raspberry Ice Cubes:

    • In a small saucepan over medium high heat, add 1 cup water, ¼ cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice.
    • Stir together until the sugar is dissolved.
    • Add the raspberries and stir to coat to soften raspberries.
    • Transfer the raspberries in a sieve. Using the back of a spoon, mash the raspberries against the bottom and sides of sieve. This will get rid of the seeds. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the sieve to get all the pulp. Let cool for a few minutes.
    • Fill the ice cube tray. This should give you 2 cups of raspberry puree which is enough to fill a common 14 cube ice tray. Not the fancy ones but the simple ones that do the job.
    • Place in freezer and allow a few hours to freeze.

    For the Lemonade:

    • In a small saucepan bring water and sugar to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved.
    • Remove from heat.
    • Juice the lemons or use a good quality bottled lemon juice - my preference - and place into a serving pitcher.
    • Pour in the simple syrup and stir.
    • Add the cold water and stir. Refrigerate until raspberry ice cubes are ready.
    • Serve the lemonade with the raspberry ice cubes.
