(Naturally!) Pink Lemonade Recipe

Lemonade is a classic summertime drink. Maybe you were one of those kids who set up their own lemonade stand or have a good friend who always has a pitcher of the good, ice-cold stuff on hand in the fridge. Either way, it's hard to deny the nostalgic, refreshing appeal of a delicious glass of lemonade!

The best part about lemonade? It can be upgraded by adding fruits, herbs, and other flavors. But sometimes you don't want anything extra. Sometimes you want that classic tang - and you want it to be pink!

Lemonade commonly gets its hue from sugary juice or syrup. However, in this recipe a root vegetable helps to achieve this pretty color.
