Recently spring has made a daunting appearance, very much appreciated by the people on campus. So many smiling faces, so many cute spring outfits and hipster stylin' sunglasses! This beautiful weather makes me want to make fruity, tropical drinks and just sit outside with a book (unfortunately, it would be a textbook). I was reading an article about how studies have shown how important antioxidants are, and how a lot of people are underrating their goodness. This fresh, light and tangy drink will definitely put more of a smile on your face than the weather already has! Feel free to keep it virgin or add a twist to it! You could add rum or even vodka to add your twist!
6 to 8 lemons (2 cups of lemon juice), plus lemon slices
2 cups water
1 to 2 cups ice
1 cup simple syrup
1 pint of blackberries (replace with any fresh berry, raspberry or blueberry)
Prepare the simple syrup by bringing one cup of sugar and water to boil, stirring until dissolved. Let cool.
In a large pitcher, muddle the blackberries, make sure to smash them completely or it will be hard to sip the fruit through a straw. Stir in the 2 cup of lemon juice, and 2 cups water. Add the ice and lemon slices. Serve in a glass with extra lemon slices if desired.
This should make about 6 cups of lemonade! Hope you like it! :) Let me know if you use any other berries and of your successes!
