Strawberry Lemonade


  • Author: Jazmine

Description

A fun take on a classic summer beverage that’s both delicious and refreshing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Cups Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 Cups halved strawberries
  • 1 1/2 Cup Honey
  • 6 Cups Water

Instructions

  1. Zest and juice your lemons (See notes for lemon zest)
  2. Combine strawberry halves and honey in a pot on medium high heat and stirring periodically
  3. Once the honey is completely melted keep stirring periodically until strawberries are soft enough to crush
  4. Crush the berries and let mixture simmer until its reduced by half about 20 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it and stir periodically
  5. If your ok with strawberry chunks and seeds skip straight to step 7 if not then complete step six before moving on
  6. Once its reduce remove from and using a stick blender carefully blend until fairly smooth then strain through a fine mesh sieve forcing through and be sure to scrape the  bottom of the sieve. (See Note)
  7. Combine strawberry mixture with lemon juice whisking to combine and then add the water.
  8. Give it a good stir then serve over ice and enjoy

Notes

  • Zesting the lemons is optional but if you choose to zest them  zest can be stored in freezer to be used at later date
  • I like to hang on to the whats left over in the sieve after you strain the strawberry- honey mixture to use in other recipes i may want a more intense strawberry flavor.
