Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cherries rinsed and pitted
  • 3 cups water
  • 4 lemons juiced
  • 1/2 cup sweetener I used agave. You can also sweeten to taste.
  • 1/2 inch ginger peeled

Instructions

  • Start by squeezing the lemons, making about 1/2 cup of lemon juice, and set aside.
  • Wash and remove the pits from the cherries. Add the cherries to a high-speed blender, along with water, lemon juice, and ginger, and process until smooth.
  • Using a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag, strain the cherry mixture into a pitcher and discard the residue.
  • Add sweetener to taste and stir well. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill it. If you are serving immediately, you can add some ice to the pitcher or each glass of lemonade.
  • Add some mint leaves, cherries, or lemon slices to garnish, and serve!
