Directions for Fresh Homemade Lemonade with an option for Raspberry Lemonade
You will need 6 Lemons.
Squeeze with the lemons with the juicer and put juice in a pitcher.
3/4 -1 cup sugar (if you like it a little sweeter do the 1 cup)
Fill the pitcher to 2 Liters.
Mix well and chill
For a variation you can add strawberries or raspberries. If you do this wash them, cut greens off and any bad places out. Put them in a bowl with a couple of Tablespoons (out of the 3/4 cup) from the sugar you will add to the lemonade when it is all put together. 
Because the fruit is so sweet I wouldn’t do more than 3/4 cup of sugar when adding more fruit to the lemonade. Let the berries with the sugar sit in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps to soften them and draw out their juices. Put the berries into the juice with the sugar and then add the water and stir well.
