Okay so I said I would tell you how to make that semi-homemade raspberry lemonade didn't I? It really is the simplest thing, easy to make, refreshing, and looks beautiful too.
Semi-Homemade Raspberry Lemonade
Preparation: Just make sure you have a 2 quart ice tea pitcher and ice on hand
Step One: Go to you're local grocery store and purchase one nice firm (basically all yellow no green) lemon, a bag of frozen or fresh raspberries, and a powdered packet of Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade flavor. (Make sure you get the ones that makes two quarts, not the singles)
Step Two: Place crystal light powder (only one, not all four) into bottom of pitcher
Note: If you purchased the frozen raspberries add them in now and skip step seven
Step Three: Begin to add water and stop about 3 inches from the top of the pitcher. (Again make sure you are using a 2 quart pitcher, if it is bigger or smaller then you will have to use less or more crystal light.....I learned this the hard way lol)
Step Four: Stir contents together until all crystal light powder has dissolved
Step Five : Cut ends off of lemon and slice the remaining part into 1/4 inch slices, add them to the pitcher
Step Six: Add about 3 handfuls of ice to pitcher and stir again
Step Seven: wait until Ice has dissolved a little add fresh raspberries to the top (add more ice if desired)
Step Eight: Viola! You should now have a beautiful pitcher of Raspberry Lemonade that is colorful and perfect for any backdoor BBQ or any summer meal. Plus it is sugar free (Minus the fruit on top) being crystal light. I like to make this for my dad because he is diabetic and can't consume a lot of fruity drinks :)
Hope you enjoy :) Next time I'll be posting a delicious type of enchilada (trust me it's not your average cheese and red sauce). Come back for more soon :)
