To me, lemonade is the perfect summer drink because it’s so light, cool, and refreshing. I absolutely adore the bright pink color the beets lend to the lemonade, and they provide a sweetness to the mix that reduces the amount of other sweeteners you need to add.

So let me share the recipe for the Beet Lemonade with you.
If you don’t have a juicer you can simply make fresh beet juice using any food processor. To make the beet juice, wash your beet and chop it into chunks, put the chunks in a food processor and grind them up into pulp.
For 1/4 cup beet pulp, add 1 cup water to the food processor. Blend the water and beet pulp together for a few minutes. Strain the beet juice through cheesecloth to remove the pulp. The juice is ready.
