Raspberries have antioxidants and they are rich in vitamin C and Vitamin B 1-3. They also contain folic acid, magnesium and many more.

This is a refreshing drink you can have on a hot day. Lemonade is a common drink, but feel free to mix it with other fruits to make interesting concoctions.

1/2 lb. fresh raspberries

6 cups water

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 teaspoon lime juice

12 ounces lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
