homemade bramble / blackberry lemonade
Homemade lemonade is nothing like the carbonated drinks we are used to seeing in supermarkets, pubs and restaurants. The real thing is still (not carbonated), is full of flavour and very refreshing. Lemonade recipes really come into their own during the warm summer months when fruits are in abundance. This homemade lemonade is very simple and can be made with whatever fruits are in season. (For another refreshing lemonade recipe, try our redcurrant & strawberry lemonade here.)
