Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, 1 cup of water, and granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the berries have softened and released their juices.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before straining it through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove solids. Press gently with the back of a spoon to extract all the juice.
In a large pitcher, combine the berry syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to mix.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the double berry lemonade over the ice.
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Double Berry Lemonade!
