    Blackberry Raspberry Lemonade is refreshing and easy to make using fresh berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ice cubes. Homemade lemonade is refreshing on a summer’s day!

    How to make Homemade Lemonade:

    Have you ever made homemade lemonade? It’s so easy to do and you’ll love that it has simple ingredients and no preservatives.

    It’s simply adding granulated sugar to hot water so it dissolves and mix that with lemon juice. Below, I added berry juices to create a Blackberry Raspberry Lemonade. Be sure and try my Strawberry Lemonade Recipe, Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade, Raspberry Iced Tea, and Peach Sweet Tea.

    You can either grown your own berries or buy from a local farmer. Ask a farmer if you buy a full flat of berries could you get a discount. Usually they are more than willing! Freeze your berries right away in large freezer Ziploc bags to keep fresh! Then you’ll have ripe berries to use in all sorts of recipes all year long!

    In the food industry they call frozen berries IQF, which means Individually Quick Frozen. This basically means they flash freeze berries and then put them into bags. This keeps them from sticking together. For more great raspberry recipes, try Raspberry Oatmeal Bars, Raspberry Muffins, Raspberry Frosting, Mixed Berry Jam, and Raspberry Rhubarb Jam.

    How to make homemade Raspberry Lemonade:

    Step 1: For homemade Blackberry Raspberry Lemonade, get yourself a hand food mill and a fine mesh strainer. Simply cook your berries in a little bit of water in a saucepan so they don’t burn and they’ll soften. You can crush them with a potato masher and then push through a fine mesh strainer. Discard the seeds and pulp.

    Step 2: Dissolve granulated sugar in water, making a simple syrup and then combine everything. Add plenty of ice and enjoy.

    Blackberry Raspberry Lemonade

    Prep Time20 minutes mins
    Total Time20 minutes mins
    Wild black raspberries grew up the entire length of the driveway, intertwined into a stone wall my grandfather had laid on our farm, all the way to our pig barn. We picked them often during the summer and froze them. I love growing some of our own berries to use in desserts, jams and specialty drinks like this one.
