Description
This lemonade gets its pink color from a healthy juice.
Ingredients
- FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:
- ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 Lemon, Zested
- FOR THE PINK LEMONADE:
- 1 cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 5 cups Cold Water
- 8 teaspoons Chilled 100% Pomegranate Juice
- 4 cups Ice Cubes
- 1 Lemon, Sliced, For Garnish
Preparation
For the simple syrup:
Heat a sauce pan on low to medium heat and add the water, sugar, and lemon zest. Bring the sugar mixture to a boil and stir. Once the sugar dissolves, about 6 minutes, remove the syrup from the pan into a heat-proof bowl and let cool. Once cooled, pour the syrup through a mesh strainer and into a large measuring cup with a pour spout. Discard the lemon zest that is left in the strainer.
For the pink lemonade:
Juice and strain the lemons. In a large pitcher, add the strained lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, water and pomegranate juice. Stir together and add the ice. Slice a lemon into about ½-inch wide slices, remove the seeds if possible, and add to the pitcher. Serve over additional ice if desired.
