Refreshing Homemade Strawberry Lemonade

Kick off your summer gatherings with this homemade strawberry lemonade that combines the sweetness of fresh strawberries with the tartness of lemons. It’s incredibly easy to make and requires just a few simple ingredients.

Refreshing Homemade Strawberry Lemonade ### Ingredients:

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup fresh lemon juice (approximately 4-6 lemons)
1 cup sugar (or to taste)
4 cups cold water
Ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Start by preparing the strawberries. Place the sliced strawberries in a blender and blend until smooth.
Strain the blended strawberries through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the seeds. Use a spatula to press the mixture and extract as much juice as possible.
Next, juice the lemons until you have about one cup of fresh lemon juice. Make sure to strain it as well to catch any seeds or pulp.
Add the sugar to the strawberry juice in the pitcher. Stir well until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Now, add the fresh lemon juice to the pitcher along with four cups of cold water. Mix everything together until well combined.
Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more sugar if desired. If the lemonade is too sweet, you can balance it out by adding more lemon juice.
Serve the lemonade over ice cubes in tall glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a delightful touch!
