Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 5 cups Water
- 4 whole Fresh lemons
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Optional mint leaves
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them in half for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the strawberries and 1 cup of water. Blend on high until smooth.
Strain the strawberry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove seeds. Discard the seeds.
In a small saucepan, combine 0.5 cups of sugar with 1 cup of water to make a simple syrup. Heat on medium, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Juice the lemons by cutting them in half and squeezing over a strainer to catch any seeds. You should have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Add the fresh lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and 3 cups of cold water to the strawberry puree in the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or water, if desired.
Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the lemonade further.
If desired, garnish each glass with a sprig of mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
