Beat the summer heat with this delightful Berry-Saft Fusion that combines the sweetness of mixed berries with the tangy kick of citrus. This easy-to-make drink is perfect for backyard barbecues, pool parties, or just a relaxing afternoon on the porch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Directions
- In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the berries start to break down and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the berry mixture cool slightly. Then, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds and pulp.
- In a pitcher, mix the strained berry juice with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Berry-Saft Fusion over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and enjoy!
