Creating the perfect Raspberry Rose Lemonade is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:
1. Prepare Raspberry Infusion: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh raspberries and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Simmer: Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the raspberries are soft and have released their juices.
3. Strain: Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the raspberry mixture into a bowl, discarding the solids. Allow the raspberry syrup to cool for about 10 minutes.
4. Combine Lemon Juice and Sugar: In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
5. Mix Raspberry Syrup: Add the cooled raspberry syrup into the lemon juice mixture and stir well to combine.
6. Dilute: Pour in 4 cups of cold water and add 1 tablespoon of rose water. Taste and adjust the rose water according to your preference.
7. Chill: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.
8. Serve: Pour the Raspberry Rose Lemonade into glasses filled with ice, and garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon slices.
