Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 3 cups cold water
- Ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Blend the base ingredients: In a blender, combine the fresh hulled strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth to create a fresh strawberry puree base.
- Add water and blend again: Pour in the cold water and blend again briefly to mix everything evenly without over-aerating the drink.
- Serve chilled: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the strawberry lemonade over the ice, stir gently to chill and combine, and serve immediately for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- Adjust sugar quantity to your preferred sweetness level, especially if your strawberries are very sweet.
- For a fizzy version, substitute cold water with sparkling water.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for best flavor instead of bottled lemon juice.
- This lemonade is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
