This bright and sunny Strawberry Lemonade is what Summer dreams are made of! Nothing screams sunshine like homemade lemonade... and tangy lemons mixed with sweet fresh strawberries is pure bliss with every sip!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 cup Hot Water
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 pint Fresh Strawberries
- 1 cup Fresh Lemon Juice this equaled close to 8 lemons
- 4 cups Cold Water this will vary depending on your taste
Instructions
- Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar with 1 cup of hot water in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and heat until the sugar in completely dissolved; swirl the pan occasionally. Let cool.
- Once the simple syrup has cooled, puree strawberries in a blender with ½ cup water.
- In a large pitcher, combine strawberry puree, simple syrup and fresh squeezed lemon juice, and stir well.
- Add 4 - 6 cups of Cold Water and stir again. (The amount of water you use will depend on your taste, so add as little or as much as you want to achieve your perfect sweet/tart balance.)
- To add sugar on the rim all you do is wet the rim and dip in a pile of sugar. So easy and tastes good too.
- Serve over ice. If desired, garnish with fresh strawberries and lemon slices. I do it because it looks super stinking cute!
