Easy Homemade Strawberry Lemonade
Report
Easy homemade strawberry lemonade! Quick and easy to make in the blender, naturally sweetened, and perfectly tart-sweet. The ultimate summer refresher!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup sliced ripe strawberries, hulled and halved (organic when possible)
- 3 cups filtered water
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup agave* (we used the lesser amount for a more tart lemonade // or sub liquid monk fruit extract or liquid stevia to taste)
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (~6-8 large, juicy lemons as recipe is written)

Instructions
- Add all ingredients (starting with the lesser amount of agave) to a high-speed blender and blend on medium-high until smooth — about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust as needed, adding more agave for sweetness and to balance the lemon, lemon juice for tartness, or strawberries for more strawberry flavor.
- Optionally, for a smoother lemonade and to remove strawberry seeds, you can strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer before serving. We didn’t find this step necessary.
- Option to chill the lemonade by transferring it to a large jar and placing in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve immediately. You can also serve over ice, though it will dilute the flavor a bit. Serve this lemonade on its own or as a mixer with tequila, gin, or vodka.
- Lemonade will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 5 days, or freeze in popsicle molds for a sweet, cold treat! Can also be frozen into ice cubes and added to summer beverages.
Notes
- *We tested agave, honey, coconut sugar, and maple syrup. Agave was our favorite. Honey stuck to the bottom of the blender, which made blending a little more finicky, however it was very floral and delicious. The maple syrup gave it a maple strawberry flavor — not something we preferred, but it would be nice with bourbon. The coconut sugar was a little too flavor specific and tasted like brown sugar.*The easy method used in this recipe creates a frothy layer at the top, which we enjoyed. But if the froth might bother you, you can blend the strawberries, agave, and 1 cup of water, then add that to a jar with the lemon juice and remaining water.*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with the lesser amount of agave.
