There is nothing like a refreshing glass of lemonade on a hot day. I watched Michael Smith make this the other day on Chef at Home and have
been thinking about it ever since.
We changed this up a little bit by adding mint and using sparkling water.
Since Q doesn’t like anything fizzy, we divided the mixture into two
containers, making one with still water and one with bubbles. Q was happy to help in the kitchen, juicing all the lemons needed for the lemonade.
This was a very pretty drink to look at, the raspberries making it a
beautiful pink and the strands of lemon zest and pieces of green mint
adding pops of colour.It was tangy and quenched
everyone’s thirst.
