Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 3 cups water
- 5 medium lemons juiced
- ¼ cup sugar or sweetener. Adjust to taste
Instructions
- Add strawberries, water, lemon juice and sugar to a high-speed blender, starting with the least amount of sweetener or sugar.
- Blend the ingredients on medium-high speed until a smooth and well-combined mixture is achieved.
- Taste the lemonade and adjust the flavors as needed. If you desire more sweetness, add additional sugar/sweetener. If you want a more tart flavor, incorporate more lemon juice. For a stronger strawberry taste, add extra strawberries.
- If desired, you can strain the liquid. Serve as is or over ice.
Notes
You can strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother lemonade without strawberry seeds. However, this step is not necessary.
If desired, chill the lemonade by transferring it to a large mason jar or pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This will enhance the flavors and create a refreshing cold beverage.
This lemonade can also be used as a mixer for alcoholic beverages. For a delicious cocktail, consider combining it with tequila, gin, or vodka.
If there are any leftovers, store the lemonade in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Alternatively, you can freeze the lemonade in popsicle molds for a sweet and cold treat. You can also freeze the lemonade into ice cubes and add them to your favorite summer beverages for an extra burst of flavor.
