Whipped Raspberry Lemonade (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Lemon Simple Syrup

01 - 50 g granulated sugar
02 - 60 ml water
03 - Finely grated zest of 1 large lemon

→ Whipped Lemonade

04 - 240 ml well-shaken canned coconut milk
05 - 120 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2 large lemons)
06 - 2 cups (approximately 260 g) ice cubes
07 - 105 g frozen raspberries

# Instructions:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon zest, remove from heat, and cover. Allow to steep for 5 minutes. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooled, approximately 20 minutes.
02 - Strain the cooled syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lemon zest. Discard the zest.
03 - Combine the cooled lemon syrup, coconut milk, lemon juice, ice cubes, and frozen raspberries in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the ice is crushed into a slushy consistency, about 30 seconds.
04 - Divide the whipped raspberry lemonade evenly among 4 glasses. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For a lighter beverage, substitute light or refrigerated coconut milk for canned, noting it may reduce creaminess.
