7 Easy Steps To The Perfect Mulberry Lemonade

Step 1:

Add the mulberries and 1/2 cup of water to a blender. Blend until smooth.

Step 2:

Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove seeds and pulp, especially if you prefer a smooth drink.

Step 3:

Squeeze your lemons to get fresh juice—remove seeds but keep the pulp for extra flavor.

Step 4:

In a small saucepan, combine sugar (or honey) with 1/2 cup of water. Warm it until fully dissolved to make a simple syrup. Let it cool.

Step 5:

In a large pitcher, combine strained mulberry juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, and the remaining cold water.

Step 6:

Stir well and taste. Add more water, lemon, or sweetener if needed, depending on how tart or sweet you like it.

Step 7:

Pour into glasses over ice. Garnish with lemon slices and mint if desired.
