Bing Cherry Lemonade

 

A new version of an old favorite.

Ingredients

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

1 pound fresh California Bing cherries, washed and pitted (about 2 cups)

1 cup fresh lemon juice

6 cups cold water

Mint garnish (optional)

Bing Cherry Lemonade

Instructions

Heat sugar and 1 cup water in a small pot until sugar dissolves. Add 1 cup cherries, bring to a boil and boil until the cherries begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Strain cooled cherry syrup into a large pitcher, pressing on the cherries to release their juice. Discard cooked cherry mixture. Add lemon juice and cold water to the syrup. Stir in remaining cherries. Pour over ice and garnish with fresh mint.
