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
- Zest and juice your lemons (See notes for lemon zest)
- Combine strawberry halves and honey in a pot on medium high heat and stirring periodically
- Once the honey is completely melted keep stirring periodically until strawberries are soft enough to crush
- 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
- If your ok with strawberry chunks and seeds skip straight to step 7 if not then complete step six before moving on
- 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)
- Combine strawberry mixture with lemon juice whisking to combine and then add the water.
- 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.
