Pink Lemonade syrup is a delicious combination of lemon, sugar, and red berries, giving it its beautiful pink hue and refreshing taste. This syrup is ideal for drizzling over ice cream or creating fruity and refreshing drinks.
Ingredients :

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of extra lemon juice (optional, to adjust the acidity)
Preparation :
- Prepare the simple syrup.
In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will take approximately 5 minutes. - Add the juices.
Once the simple syrup is ready, add the lemon juice and raspberry (or strawberry) juice to the mixture. Stir well and let it cook over low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. - Add the vanilla (optional).
