Servings: 6 to 8 cups
Calories: 31kcal
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups of water
- 1 pint of fresh strawberries, washed and tops removed
- 2 to 3 lemons, peeled
- Sugar or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 2 cups of ice + more to taste
Instructions
- Add water, strawberries, 2 lemons, sugar, and ice to a high-power blender. Blend for 1 minute. Taste and adjust the lemon and sugar levels. Blend again if you added more of any ingredients.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. Optionally, use a strainer to strain the pulp for a smoother drink. Serve with more ice if needed.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness/tang: Based on the berry sweetness and preference. Start with a portion of each, blend, then adjust to taste.
- To avoid diluted lemonade: Serve the lemonade in cups with ice rather than blending it directly into the pitcher of lemonade. Alternatively, make lemonade ice cubes, so they don’t dilute as they melt.
- Leave it to rest: If you have the time, leave it to chill for 30-60 minutes before serving to help the flavors meld.
- Make strawberry lemonade ice pops: Have leftovers? Pour them into a popsicle mold and enjoy as a frozen treat.
