Most commercial lemonade is made with corn syrup. Like other bottled fruit juices, it can also contain yeast and/or mold. Fortunately, lemonade is very easy to make at home. If you happen to have some raspberries and aren't allergic to them, you can easily add a distinct raspberry flavor to your lemonade and turn it a pretty pink.
2 c. sugar
3/4 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
8 c. water
1/4-1/3 c. raspberry juice*
Stir all the ingredients together. Chill.
*The easiest way to make raspberry juice is to put raspberries through a juicer. Alternatively, you can break down some raspberries by heating them briefly on the stove, let them cool, pour them into a bowl through a strainer lined with cloth, and wring the rest of the raspberry juice through the cloth. This method wastes less raspberry juice than the juicer.
