Homemade Strawberry Lemonade with Fresh Mint

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Forget store-bought sodas! This strawberry lemonade captures the true taste of fresh fruit in a glass. The secret lies in making a 'strawberry syrup': instead of just tossing fruit into water, we puree it, so every drop of water takes on the strawberry's flavor and color. A true summer classic that is not only thirst-quenching but also a table centerpiece.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Blender
  • Fine Mesh Sieve
  • Large Pitcher
  • Spoon

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash and hull the strawberries, then place them in a blender with the sugar and half of the lemon juice.

Tip: The sugar helps break down the strawberry cell walls, releasing more juice.
2 ✓

Blend until completely smooth, then strain through a sieve.

Tip: Although seeds are healthy, the drink will be silkier and more elegant without them.
3 ✓

Pour the strawberry puree into a pitcher, add the remaining lemon juice and the water/soda. Stir well.

Tip: If using soda, pour it in just before serving so the bubbles don't escape.
4 ✓

Tear the mint leaves and drop them into the drink.

Tip: Tearing along the veins releases essential oils, providing a more intense aroma.
5 ✓

Fill glasses with plenty of ice and garnish with a whole strawberry each.

Tip: You can rim the glass with lemon juice and sugar for a professional look.

Recipe FAQ

It's too sour.
Strawberry sweetness varies. Taste constantly and add more sugar or honey if necessary.
How long does it keep?
Up to 2 days in the fridge, but it's best fresh because Vitamin C degrades quickly.
