Homemade tangy raspberry lemonade! This recipe, along with my Fresh Peach Lemonade, is made from 4 ingredients. That means no powders, dyes, or extra additives. I found the longer I let the raspberry lemon mixture sit and cool before I strained it, the better it tasted! I love the simplicity of this recipe, and how good the outcome is! With BC day this weekend, this is a great recipe to cool down with! Try mixing with half iced tea, or adding an ounce of vodka to your glass! Do you have any favourite flavours of homemade lemonade?
