You can’t go wrong with an ice-cold lemonade during the warmer season. It’s perfect to cool you down and so versatile, everyone will enjoy it! Some of our favorites are Fresh Squeezed Homemade Lemonade, Homemade Blackberry Lemonade, and Easy Brazilian Lemonade. One of my family’s favorite treats, when the days are long and hot, is to come in and sip a nice cold glass of homemade lemonade from the pitcher in the fridge. Even better, add fresh strawberries to the mix and you have yourself a perfect evening in the shade sipping on the most amazing sweet-tart strawberry lemonade made right in your own kitchen. This is a great recipe when strawberries are in season. And even if they’re not, you can stock up on them when they are in season and then freeze them for whenever you want to enjoy a glass. And don’t worry, it really is as simple as lemons and strawberries. Add a little simple syrup to sweeten it up and you’ll be sippin’ in no time! It’s a fun drink to serve at summer backyard barbecues and you can easily double or triple the recipe to fill one of those glass drink dispensers for a beautiful presentation. And if you happen to have any leftovers, just pour it into popsicle molds for an easy frozen treat that kids and adults alike will enjoy!
What You’ll Need
Sugar: Making a simple syrup with sugar and water will give you the perfect sweetness for your lemonade and allow the sugar to dissolve properly so you aren’t left with grainy bits once you pour a glass. Water: The amount will depend on how concentrated you like your lemonade. Feel free to adjust up or down to your personal taste.Lemon juice: Fresh lemons is the best way to make homemade fresh lemonade. I like to buy the large 5-pound bag from Costco unless friends or neighbors happen to have a loaded lemon tree and offer to share. Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are the way to go, although frozen will also work. You’ll puree these in a blender or food processor (affiliate link) and you can even strain it if you want to remove any seeds. If the seeds don’t bother you, then just leave them right in there!
