Homemade Raspberry Squash
Completely by accident, I happened to stumble across a pretty neat way to make your own squash or cordial with no added sugars or preservatives… pretty cheap too!
I wanted to make myself an iced tea but didn’t really have anything to make one with. Unusually I was out of dried herbs and flowers, and all I had in was a little fruit that was starting to go a little mushy. It was perfectly fine to eat, it had just seen better days. I’d been at work all day and I just wanted a refreshing drink to sit on my balcony and chill out before I cooked tea. So, I discovered this pretty cool little way to turn most fruits into a little homemade squash drink. Homemade raspberry squash I now call it! So here is it, a little ‘how to’ on how to make your own homemade raspberry squash!’
I used raspberries for this squash drink as you can see above, but it should work with most berries or even oranges or tangerines. Lemons would work pretty well to for a little ‘homemade lemonade’ … I might save that one for another day!

As you can see, I also added some of the strained mixture to the glass but you don't have to.
