Cherry lemonade with mint

Delicious homemade instant lemonade. Lemonade is a drink loved by many since childhood. Its sweet and sour taste perfectly quenches thirst. Cherry lemonade – with a bright taste and beautiful color – is my favorite summer drink. Cherry lemonade can be made at any time of the year, both from fresh and frozen berries. I add a sprig of mint to that drink, it gives the drink freshness and a slight chill. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, it depends on how sweet or sour the cherries are.
