Summer is nearly here! And what better drink to get in the mood for the summer sun than delicious, fresh and homemade lemonade?
These lemonades are so quick and simple to create, but best of all…their bursting with fresh, zesty flavour.
We’ve gone for three tried-and-tested flavour combinations that never fail to impress.
Raspberries give lemonade a lovely vibrant pink colour and is definitely one of our favourites. The ginger is super refreshing, while the mint and cucumber combination is just made for summer afternoons in the sun.
Enjoy!
