Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar (to taste)
- 4 cups water
- Ice
- Lemon slices and strawberry slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries with 1 cup of water. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30-60 seconds.
- Pour the blended strawberry mixture through a fine sieve into a pitcher to remove the seeds. You should be left with a vibrant strawberry puree.
- To the pitcher, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the remaining 3 cups of water to the mixture and stir well to combine everything together.
- Take a quick taste of your lemonade! If it’s not sweet enough for your liking, add more sugar gradually until you reach your desired sweetness, stirring well.
- Pour the lemonade over ice-filled glasses and garnish with lemon slices and fresh strawberry slices if desired. Enjoy the refreshing burst of flavor!
Notes
Serve chilled over ice for the best experience. You can enhance your drink with garnishes like lemon and strawberry slices. Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 3-5 days for maximum freshness.
