Raspberry Lemonade

Recipe by Cook's Hideout

Here's another refreshing Summer drink that can be made ahead of time and can be served any time you have a craving for something cold and sweet. I was looking for a recipe to use up some raspberries I had in the fridge and found this Fresh Raspberry Syrup Soda recipe @ Savvy Eat. I made the syrup as per the recipe, but when I made the soda with just the syrup it tasted too sweet and one dimensional. Then I added some lemon juice and voila it was instant hit with everyone. Adjust the quantity of sugar as per...

Ingredients

• 2 cups raspberries
• 1 cups sugar
• 1 cups water
• 3 tbsp Raspberry Syrup
• supermarket roast chicken, approximately 200g once shredded

Method

1. For the Raspberry Syrup: In a small sauce pan, combine sugar and water and cook until sugar is completely dissolved. Add the raspberries and cook for 10-15 minutes until the syrup is reduced.
2. Cool completely and strain the seeds through a fine mesh strainer and/ or cheese cloth. Store in a clean container in the fridge for up to a month.
3. When ready to Serve: Combine 3tbsp syrup with ¾cup club soda and 2tbsp lemon juice. Serve over ice. Enjoy!!
