Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup honey or sugar
  • 6 large lemons, juiced (1 1/2 cups lemon juice)
  • 1 pound strawberries, hulled
  • 5 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rosewater

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the honey syrup or simple syrup: In a small saucepan set over medium heat, add 1 cup of water and 3/4 cup of honey or sugar. Bring to a low simmer, stirring to dissolve the honey or sugar into the water. This should only take about a minute. If using sugar the liquid should go from gray to clear. If using honey, it should become cohesive.
  2. Blend the ingredients: Into a blender, add the lemon juice and strawberries. Blend for about 30 seconds until you’ve created a liquid and you don’t have any strawberries pieces. Depending upon the power of your blender you might have to blend it a little longer.
  3. Enjoy! Into a pitcher, combine the strawberry lemon puree, honey water (or sugar water), rosewater and 4 cups of cold water. Stir to combine.

Notes

  • Rose water is an optional ingredient it, but it's a fun one to play with. Use it in drinks, puddings, candies and more.
