Instructions 

How to make simple syrup

  • Combine 1 ½ cups water, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar in a sauce pan.
  • Bring to a simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool before using.

Make strawberry puree

  • Rinse strawberries under cold water. Trim the cap and any bruised areas from each strawberry. Sprinkle with sugar.
  • Puree the sweetened strawberries with ½ cup water in a blender until smooth.
  • Strain the pureed strawberries using a fine mesh strainer to remove most of the seeds. If using a high powered blender you can skip straining. Set aside.
  • Slice the lemons in half and squeeze the juice trough a fine mesh strainer placed over a bowl.

Mixing Strawberry Lemonade

  • Fill a ½ gallon pitcher half full with ice, add some lemon slices and sliced strawberries.
  • Pour the lemon juice, the strawberry puree and half the simple syrup into the pitcher. Stir to combine. Taste and add more simple syrup if needed. Or dilute with ½ cup water if too tart.
  • Fill a glass with ice, garnish with a lemon slice, a few slices of strawberry and a sprig of mint. Fill the glass with the strawberry lemonade to serve.
