Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 Fresh lemons
- 4 cups Cold water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the stems and chop them into small chunks.
Transfer 1 cup of the chopped strawberries to a blender and add the granulated sugar. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
Juice the lemons to yield approximately 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice if desired to remove pulp and seeds.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the strawberry puree from the blender, and the cold water. Stir well until everything is thoroughly mixed.
Add the remaining 1 cup of chopped strawberries directly into the pitcher to add a fun, chunky texture to the drink.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Chunky Strawberry Lemonade into each glass.
Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Chunky Strawberry Lemonade.
