Customize a colorful summer staple that will cool off the whole family! This fresh and fruity lemonade allows you to make a drink that is 100 percent to your liking. Your lemonade doesn’t have to be syrupy (i.e. loaded with sugar) in order to impart a delicious taste — by adding berries, ginger, and mint, this cooling recipe offers a ton of flavor, as well as nutrients. Using a light hand with a natural sweetener, such as agave or honey, and this drink is a guilt-free, delightful way to hydrate. Keep a pitcher in the fridge so that each family member can help him- or herself to an ice-cold glass when thirst comes calling.
Family-Friendly Flavor
- For the kids, cut the lemonade with water to taste.
