Oral Allergy Syndrome Friendly Vegan Raspberry Lemonade with Fresh Mint

Tart, jewel-bright, and impossibly refreshing, this drink is the kind of thing you want sweating on a table in the backyard all afternoon. The raspberry syrup is made from scratch by simmering fresh berries with agave and water, then straining out the solids for a silky, deeply colored base that tastes nothing like the artificially flavored stuff. Muddled mint adds a cool, herbal lift that makes every sip feel a little more special than your average glass of lemonade. For anyone managing oral allergy syndrome, drinks and recipes that rely on cooked or processed fruit can be a much safer bet — and here, the raspberries are fully broken down over heat, which changes the proteins that tend to trigger reactions. Fresh lemon juice and agave keep the ingredient list clean and straightforward, with no hidden additives to second-guess. You can easily dial the sweetness or tartness up or down at the end, so it comes out exactly the way you like it. Serve it over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice, and it looks like something from a café menu with almost no effort at all.
