Easy Strawberry Lemonade
- Place strawberries, honey, and 1 cup of water into a blender. Puree until smooth. Remove and strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds and access pulp.
- Pour the mixture into a pitcher and add the lemon juice and remaining water. Stir well, and your lemonade is ready! If you would like to let the froth settle before drinking, just place the lemonade in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
- Garnish with lemon slices and strawberries. Serve over ice and enjoy!
NOTES
* YIELDS 1L of Strawberry Lemonade
NOTE: Feel free to adjust the lemonade to your taste. If you want it to be tarter amp up the lemon juice. For more sweetness, drizzle in more honey. Looking for a more fruity flavour add in more strawberries! The flavour level is totally up to you.
STORAGE: Place in the refrigerator in a pitcher with a lid for 3 days (if it lasts that long!). You can also use the leftover lemonade to create popsicles, which we will explore how to make in a future post!
ALTERNATIVE: Prefer something on the bubbly side? Swap out the water for sparkling water (except for 1 cup we use for blending), and you have yourself some Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade!
