Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoons Lime zest
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 2 whole Strawberries (for garnish)
- 4 slices Lime slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water and remove the stems. If the strawberries are large, cut them in half for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved completely.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the blended strawberry mixture into a large pitcher to remove any pulp or seeds. Discard the solids left in the strainer.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and the remaining 2 cups of water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the pitcher and stir again to chill the limeade.
Taste the limeade and adjust the sweetness, if needed, by adding more sugar or a drizzle of honey. Stir until dissolved.
Serve the strawberry limeade in individual glasses over additional ice cubes if desired.
Garnish each glass with a whole strawberry or lime slice on the rim for a decorative touch.
Enjoy your homemade Fresh Strawberry Limeade immediately!
