Raspberry Lemonade

My 'baby' just had her seventh birthday today, and she had a great time with her friends, dressing up as princesses and generally having a princessey time!  This is the special party drink I came up with for her, instead of sugary softdrink - the girls loved it!

1. Grind up in Thermomix bowl on speed 9 for 30 seconds:
- 100g Rapadura (or raw sugar)

2.  Add raspberries and ice, and grind up on speed 9 for 30 seconds or so until you get a bright red paste, using the spatula to push the ice onto the blades:
- 180g frozen raspberries
- a couple of handfuls of ice cubes
- a pinch of powdered stevia (optional)

3. Add lemons and water, lock lid, and press the Turbo button a few times to chop roughly:
- 2 lemons (scrub the skins, cut off thick ends & discard, and quarter - no need to peel!)
- 500g water

4. Unlock and open lid, and push the strainer basket down (carefully) into the juice.  Using the spatula to hold the basket in the Thermomix bowl, tip the juice into a large jug.  Leaving strainer basket in bowl, pour in half the soda water, swish around and strain out again into the jug, then add the rest of the soda water to the jug and stir gently:
- 1.25 litres soda water

Bliss!
