Raspberry Mint Lemonade
"Made this experimenting, but it actually came out pretty good, in my opinion. My husband loves it. Prep time does not include freezing time."

- Ready In:
- 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 3
- Yields:
-
2 ice cube trays
ingredients
- lemonade
- 1 pint fresh raspberry
- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
directions
- Make your lemonade, however you like it. Everyone has their own recipe for lemonade.
- In an ice cube tray, place one raspberry and one mint leaf in each compartment (if the mint leaves are small, I usually put two).
- Fill ice cube tray with lemonade and freeze.
- Once frozen, add to your lemonade. Once the cubes start to melt, it will infuse the lemonade with the flavor of the raspberries and mint leaves, and since it was frozen with lemonade and not just plain water, it will not "water down" the flavors.

After I saw Calee's picture, I ran out to buy some organic raspberries just to make this! Since the raspberries were a little on the pricey side, I bought a can of frozen lemonade concentrate instead of making my own because the lemons did not look fresh that day and were also expensive. I combined the raspberries with fresh mint from my garden. I just poured myself a glass of lemonade, topped it off with some 7 UP and added two gorgeous cubes... Served up in a clear stemmed glass makes me feel like I am drinking something much more elegant and special than just lemonade! Thanks for such a cute idea!!! -
What a cute idea this is something that can be made ahead of time and put in the freezer for a special occasion, in a punch bowl or an individual glass of lemonade or any kind of beverage. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

PAC Fall 2007 - Nothing like fresh lemonade, raspberries and mint! Used my Recipe #238435 to make this. Very refreshing. Thanks for sharing!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I don't really like answering about me sections, but here goes nothing.....I live in Chicago, IL. Went to culinary school. Used to work in a french restaurant in Downtown Chicago as a pastry chef but now I am a stay at home mom. I went to school for cuisine, not pastry, and actually I am much better at cuisine, however I've always wanted to study more pastry. I am not bad at it, I'm actually very good (tooting my own horn), but everyone says I have a natural talent for cuisine. Either way, I love cooking because it is my meditative time. However, when I cook at home, no one dares to walk into the kitchen because I am very bossy and they would rather not deal with me....heehee! <br />I also love to craft, read, and write. I write a lot. Been working on short stories lately, but I've always been more of a poem freak. I love to read....I have a massive collection of books....every type of book. They are mostly cook books and poetry collections, but I also love history, religion, drama, suspense, romance (not the cheesy kind, my favorite book of all time is love in the time of cholera by gabriel garcia marquez, I have yet to see the movie), mystery, murder mystery (second favorite book is and then there were none by agatha christie). <br />And my rambling continues....I come from a small family, I suppose, 1 brother 1 sister and my parents. My brother is married with 3 kiddies, my sister is a single mom of 1. I am engaged to the love of my life. To clarify, engaged is in parentheses because we cannot legally get married yet. I am a lesbian and I am very hopeful to the legalization of gay marriage because I would marry my girlfriend in a heartbeat. We have a 5 year old son, Joel,and a daughter from her previous relationship, Ashley, 12. I will post some pictures on here as soon as I have some time. Enough rambling....thanks for reading, if you actually stayed awake through the whole thing. <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=148021 target=_blank><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC10-NoPhoto-Participant.jpg alt= /></a></p>
