I want to clarify from the outset that I don’t assume we, this web site, and even the web essentially wants a brand new recipe for lemonade. I’ve lined lemonade that’s picnic pink (with any berry you want), with watermelon, with cucumber, with maple syrup and bourbon, and even lime and mint.

Every thing goes into the blender. Every thing is blitzed and strained without delay. And have by no means in my whole life tasted a extra scrumptious and nuanced strawberry lemonade.

Simple Strawberry Lemonade

  • 4 giant lemons (mine had been 4 1/2 ounces every), plus a number of slices for garnish
  • 1 pound (455 grams) recent strawberries, plus and some further berries for garnish
  • 1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 to three cups of water
  • Ice

Minimize the pores and skin, together with outer white pith, off your lemons and minimize the lemons into chunks. Don’t fear in regards to the seeds. Stem your strawberries. Toss the lemon chunks, strawberries, sugar, and first two cups of water into your blender and mix till coarsely pureed. Pour via a mesh strainer to take away any seeds. The lemonade can be very potent at this level and you’ll add as a lot of the remaining cup of water as you want, or all of it, to style. Fill glasses with ice and pour lemonade over and garnish with further berry and/or lemon slices. This lemonade can also be pretty completed with a splash of seltzer, for those who like fizz.
