Ingredients
- 4 cup strawberries about 1 pound, hulled and halved
- 6 cups water divided, cold
- ½ cup honey OR or agave nectar; increase up to 1 cup, to taste
- 2 lemon cut into wedges, medium size
- strawberry lemon slices, fresh mint, or lemon balm sprigs, optional garnishes, whole
Instructions
- In the basin of the blender, add the strawberries, 3 cups of cold water, and the honey or agave nectar. We like ½ cup of honey or agave nectar when the berries are at their sweetest, but you might want to add a touch more if your berries are tarter or your family enjoys sweeter drinks.
- Blend until very smooth, then pour the strawberry puree mixture into a large pitcher.
- Put the lemon wedges and the remaining 3 cups of water into the blender. Blend until it's mostly chopped up finely (it doesn't have to be smooth).
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, using a spatula to push through any liquid remaining in the pulp.
- Pour the lemon juice into the pitcher with the strawberry mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Pour over ice into glasses. Garnish with lemon slices, strawberries, and fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- To make limeade, replace the lemons with 2 large limes. If all you have on hand are small limes or key limes, increase the amount to 3 whole limes.
- To make this using frozen strawberries, let strawberries thaw completely, reserving the juice. Use the thawed berries and juice in place of the fresh berries in the recipe.
- To make this into a cocktail, add one ounce of white rum, silver tequila, vodka, or gin to each 8 ounce serving of strawberry lemonade.
