Homemade Pink Lemonade

We have been having a great play with the Thermomix over the school holidays, making loads of smoothies, desserts, dinners and we made homemade lemonade.  Usually when we go out to dinner we get the kids a jug of ‘pink’ lemonade, they love it, so I used some raspberries for some added colour to our homemade version!

I made my Pink Lemonade in the Thermomix (recipe below), if you don’t have a thermomix this is a great regular recipe.
