Fresh Raspberry Juice Recipe
Fresh raspberry juice is a simple, delicious, and healthy way to enjoy the bounty of summer. Whether you're looking to cool down on a hot day or want to explore new ways to use your raspberry harvest, this juice is a fantastic choice.
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
- 4 ice cubes omit if using frozen raspberries
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup water adjust if using frozen raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather fresh raspberries, ice cubes, sweetener of choice, and water.
- Blend: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until liquefied.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste your raspberry juice and adjust sweetener, if needed. Add more water for a thinner consistency or more ice or frozen raspberries for a thicker consistency.
- Serve: Pour the juice into glasses. For an extra touch of flavor, add a sprig of mint and a squeeze of lime to each glass. If you prefer, you can blend the mint and lime juice directly into the juice.
Notes
- Adjust Sweetness: Raspberries can be tart, so adjust the sweetness to your liking. Honey is a natural sweetener, but you can also experiment with other options like maple syrup or stevia.
- Minty Fresh: While my kids prefer their juice without mint, I love the refreshing hint it adds. You can either add a sprig of mint to the glass or blend it directly into the juice.
- Lemon Balm: While I was out harvesting my raspberries, I grabbed a couple sprigs of lemon balm and added that to my raspberry juice. It made for a delightful citrus flavor!
