Mulberry Lemonade is a refreshing drink made using fresh or frozen mulberries. Make it using my easy recipe.
Here are some more lemonade recipes: Sumac Lemonade, Turmeric Lemonade, Mango Lemonade, Charcoal Lemonade, Lychee Lemonade, and Strawberry Basil Lemonade.
My Nani’s house had a mulberry tree. When we visited her in summer, the tree was full of yummy berries. All the cousins would climb the tree and pick the berries, staining their clothes, fingers, and mouths.
Somedays, we were tasked with collecting a large bowl full of mulberries because some guests were supposed to visit the house in the evening. The elders planned to make mulberry lemonade to serve them.
We would happily collect the berries because, of course, we would get the lemonade, too. Good times!

Pro Tips By Neha
Mulberries spoil very quickly. Try to use them as soon as possible.
They also leave stains on hands and clothes, so be careful.
Mulberries come with very tiny stalks attached to them. You don’t have to remove the stalks before blending.
Adjust the sugar as per your taste. If you like sweeter lemonade, add more sugar.
You can blend mulberries, sugar, and lemon juice and freeze the puree in ice cube trays. When making the lemonade, add 1-2 cubes to a glass and top with club soda. This way, you can drink this beverage all year round, even when mulberries are not in season.

I have mulberry trees growing all around me. Tried it and it came out amazing.
Happy to hear 🙂
How far north do you live? When i lived in Malawi I cut some twigs from a friend’s mulberry tree and they rooted and produced fruit within 4 months. I aklmost immediatley had a mulberry hedge which in teh subtropics of Malawi ( we lived on a tea plantation) bre fruit for over six months each year.
Here in UK 2 hours north of london it took 4 years for a tree i bought at 6feet high to produce fruit. This year the fruit is bvery heavy, and i am too old and fat to get up the ladder. I made your lemonade with stevia not sugar.
In Turkey i saw a white mulberry tree. Same flavour but no colour but i cannot find a source of that tree. We also used to be able to buy dried white mulberries froma wholefood shop in Norwich.
I live in central India Catherine. Good to know that your tree is bearing fruits now.
we have mulberry trees all around our neighborhood, and just went picking last night. I can’t wait to try this!
Growing up in Iowa we were surrounded by mulberry trees and every summer the bottoms of my feet were always stained purple. We would make mulberry pie, but never thought of making a drink out of it. I now have a mulberry tree in my backyard here in LA and will give your drink a try when they come into season.
Omg, seriously wat an irresistible and super refreshing lemonade.
