Quadruple Berry Lemonade



Shout out to my daughter, Ty who called me and asked, "Have you ever tried the Triple Berry Lemonade at Wendy's?" I couldn't recall, but she went on to say, "You should try and make that."
So, not one to shy away from trying to make anything, here is my version of the Triple Berry Lemonade...Of course, I had to one up them!

Quadruple Berry Lemonade

2 packets of Lemon Kool Aid (Don't judge me, I like shortcuts)
1 cup of frozen or fresh mixed berries ( I happen to have a little bit of Raspberries, Blackberries, Blueberries and Strawberries from the smoothies I make)
2 Cups of Sugar (Look, I already told you not to judge me,  use less if you'd like)

This recipe makes a gallon of lemonade. Use a gallon or 4 quart pitcher. If you only have a 2 quart pitcher, then...well, cut the recipe in half. 

Thaw the berries, if you're not using fresh. Blend in blender until smooth. Strain out the seeds through a fine strainer or sieve into a large bowl or pitcher. There will be a lot of "Good Stuff" left in the strainer. Pour some water through the strainer to get the "Good Stuff" into your berry mix. Make the Kool Aid by mixing the 2 packets with the sugar and a little bit of hot water, to help the sugar dissolve. Add the berry mixture and fill your 4 quart pitcher with cold water and ice.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
