Ingredients for Strawberry Lemonade

Strawberries: Choose ripe, vibrant berries for the sweetest flavor.

Sugar: Regular granulated sugar works best.

Water: Fresh, cold water is ideal. Consider using filtered water if your tap water has a strong taste or odor that could affect the final flavor of the lemonade.

Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is key for the best, most refreshing taste. Avoid bottled juice if possible, as it can contain preservatives and lack the freshness factor.

How to Make Strawberry Lemonade

Start by putting strawberries, sugar, 1 cup of water, and lemon juice into a blender.

Blend everything until it's all smooth.

Next, get a large pitcher and add the remaining water to it.

Then, pour the blended strawberry juice into the pitcher.

If you don't want bits of strawberries in your lemonade, you can strain it as you pour.

Lastly, put the pitcher in the fridge to chill.

Tips & Tricks to Make the Best Strawberry Lemonade

Use Fresh Lemons: The taste of fresh lemon juice is way better than the bottled kind. Squeeze the lemons yourself for the best flavor.

Cold Water Tricks: Instead of using regular tap water, try using cold water from the fridge or even throw in a few ice cubes while blending. It makes your lemonade cool right away.

Powdered Sugar: If you find regular sugar too grainy, use powdered sugar or make a simple syrup by heating sugar and water together until the sugar dissolves.

Fancy Ice: Add ice cubes made from frozen strawberry juice or lemonade. It keeps your drink cold without watering it down.

Taste Test: Before you serve, taste your lemonade. If it's too tart, add a little more sugar. Too sweet? A bit more lemon juice will fix it.

Berry Variations: Mix it up by using different berries like blueberries or raspberries along with the strawberries.

Sparkle It: For a fizzy strawberry lemonade, mix half lemonade and half sparkling water or soda.

Lemon Slices: Toss a few lemon slices into the pitcher for a pretty look. They add a little extra lemony flavor as they soak.

How to Store

Cover it and store in the fridge. It should keep for about 3-5 days.

If you need to keep it longer, you can store it in the freezer. You can make ice cubes from it if you find it's easier to store that way. If you don't want to make ice cubes, you can pour it into a freezer-safe container and freeze.

Frozen lemonade can last for about 4-6 months.
