Simple Strawberry Lemonade Recipe

Refreshingly Simple Strawberry Lemonade

Servings: 4 to 6 | Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 large lemons (approximately 4.5 ounces each), plus extra slices for decoration
• 1 pound (455 grams) fresh strawberries, plus a few extra for garnish
• 1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
• 2 to 3 cups water
• Ice cubes

Instructions

Begin by removing the zest and the outer white pith from the lemons, then cut them into chunks. There’s no need to worry about the seeds for this recipe. After that, prepare your strawberries by removing the stems. In a blender, combine the lemon chunks, strawberries, granulated sugar, and the initial 2 cups of water. Blend this mixture until it reaches a coarse puree consistency. Next, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate any seeds.

At this stage, the lemonade will have a strong flavor. You can adjust its potency by adding the remaining cup of water according to your taste preference. Once you have achieved your desired flavor, fill glasses with ice and pour the freshly made lemonade over the ice. For a delightful touch, garnish each glass with additional strawberries or lemon slices. If you're a fan of fizzy drinks, consider adding a splash of sparkling water to spruce it up even further!
