strawberries

🥗Healthier: raspberries

💰Cheaper: frozen strawberries

Regular water can be used for a non-fizzy option.

Roll the lemons on the counter while pressing to soften them or microwave them to soften.

Cut the softened lemons in half and juice them using a juicer, straining the juice to remove seeds.

In a pot, combine water and sugar to create a simple syrup, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

Pour the simple syrup into a pitcher and add the fresh lemon juice.

Add filtered water to the pitcher a little at a time, stirring and tasting to adjust the sweetness without making it too watery.

Add a few drops of beet juice to color the lemonade, stirring until the desired shade of pink is achieved.

Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator before serving.

Serve the lemonade over ice.
