Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 6 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and remove the stems.
Place the strawberries, cold water, and granulated sugar (if using) into a blender.
Add the fresh lemon juice to the blender for a nice tangy kick.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and there are no visible chunks of strawberry.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar, if desired.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the pulp if you prefer a smooth drink, or leave it unstrained for a thicker texture.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour the prepared strawberry drink over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a mint leaf or two and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing strawberry drink!
