Empty My Fridge
The Best Homemade Strawberry Lemonade Recipe for Summer!
Ingredients
- Sugar½–1 cup
- Lemon1 ½ cups + 2
- Strawberry1 ½ lb + 1 cup
Instructions
- Put the sugar in a small saucepan with the zest of 2 lemons and rub the sugar and zest together with your fingers.
- Add 1 cup water, heat on medium-high until the sugar fully dissolves (no need to boil), then let the syrup cool in the fridge.
- Halve 10 to 12 lemons and squeeze out the juice, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.
- Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and blend them until smooth. If you have no blender, crush them well with two forks or a potato masher.
- In the dispenser or pitcher, put 1 cup sliced strawberries and 2 sliced lemons, then add about 2 cups ice.
- Pour in the chilled syrup, the lemon juice and the strawberry puree.
- Add 6 cups water (up to 8 to taste) and stir well with a large spoon.
- Chill the lemonade for a few hours before serving, and use only a little ice when serving so it does not dilute.
