Nitrate & Nitrite Free Raspberry Lemon Lemonade

Bright, tangy, and flushed with the color of fresh summer berries, this homemade lemonade is the kind of drink that makes you want to sit on a porch and do absolutely nothing productive. The raspberry syrup is made from scratch by simmering fresh berries with maple syrup and water, then straining out the solids for a silky, jewel-toned concentrate that tastes nothing like the artificial stuff. Fresh-squeezed lemon juice brings the pucker, and the whole thing comes together in a big pitcher with cold water — no powders, no concentrates, no preservatives hiding in the mix. That matters more than you might think, since many store-bought lemonades and flavored syrups sneak in additives that can be hard to spot on a label. Every ingredient here is exactly what it says it is: fruit, citrus, a natural sweetener, and water. You can dial the sweetness or tartness up or down at the end, which makes it genuinely easy to get right for your own taste. Garnish with mint and lemon slices and it looks like something from a restaurant menu — no effort required.
