Strawberry Lemonade
What could be more refreshing on a hot summer's day than Strawberry Lemonade?
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberry hulled and halved, sliced, ripe
- 3 cups water filtered
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup agave syrup
- 1 cup lemon juice approximately 6-8 large lemons, fresh
Instructions
- Combine strawberries, water, agave syrup (starting with 1/2 cup), and lemon juice in a blender. Blend on medium-high speed until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Taste the lemonade and adjust the flavor as needed (more agave syrup for sweetness, more lemon juice for acidity, more strawberries for taste).
- For a smoother texture, strain the lemonade through a fine mesh strainer (optional but recommend).
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight, for best flavor. You can also serve immediately over ice.
- Store any leftover lemonade in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For a frozen treat, pour into popsicle molds or ice cube trays.
