Step-by-Step Instructions for Dragonfruit Lemonade Recipe
  1. Prepare Simple Syrup by combining equal parts sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until fully dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Allow to cool.
  2. Blend Dragonfruit and Fresh Lemon Juice by cutting the dragonfruit, scooping out the flesh, and blending with lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Strain the Mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to separate pulp and seeds, resulting in a smooth liquid.
  4. Mix in Cold Water and Simple Syrup, tasting and adjusting sweetness to preference.
  5. Serve Over Ice, filling tall glasses with ice and pouring the dragonfruit lemonade mixture over it. Optionally garnish.
