Preparation
- Begin by thawing 1½ cups of frozen triple berry blend or using 2 cups of fresh mixed berries. Once thawed, place the berries in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl to capture the delicious juices as they drain.
- In a medium-sized pot, combine 2 cups of water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-high, stirring occasionally until the mixture reaches a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for about 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Once the simple syrup has cooled, stir in 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of finely grated lemon zest.
- In a blender, pour in 1 cup of the cooled lemon mixture along with the strained berries. Blend until completely smooth.
- Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the blended berry puree over a clean bowl, gently pressing with a silicone spatula to extract all the juice.
- Pour the strained berry juice back into the bowl with the remaining lemon mixture, then add the last 2 cups of water. Stir until well mixed.
- Transfer the lemonade into a large pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Once chilled, pour the Triple Berry Lemonade over ice in tall glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves, lemon slices, and additional berries.

Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh lemons and allow at least 4 hours of chilling. If you have leftovers, freeze them in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
