The lemonade used to make this refresher is homemade. I squeezed 5 medium-sized lemons and used 50 grams of sugar and 1 ½ cup of water to make the cup of lemonade.
The Classic syrup is also homemade. The simple syrup is made of 3 parts sugar to 2 parts of water, stirred, and simmered until all sugar is dissolved. Let syrup cool down before use. Sugar does not dissolve well in cold drinks, and that is why the syrup is made for use in cool drinks. This syrup is good for use for up to 3 weeks if stored in airtight containers in the fridge.
I used homemade raspberry syrup too. All you need to make it is 1 ½ cup of raspberries, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 ½ cup of water. Dissolve the sugar in the water and as it simmers over a stove, put in the raspberries and bring to a boil. Smash the raspberries, and strain to remove raspberry skin and seeds. Let the resultant syrup cool. This will give you slightly more than 1 cup of syrup. Store in fridge in an airtight container. Can keep fresh for up to 7 days.
I used store-bought strawberry puree and passion fruit flavor. I plan to use these for other drinks and so needed something with a longer shelf life.
My homemade sour patch kids’ refresher is caffeine-free. If you enjoy the green coffee taste or want to make the drink to closely match Starbucks’ one, you can make some green coffee from green coffee bean powder to add to the strawberry puree.
