Strawberry lemonade is a refreshing cold drink perfect for hot weather. You can also make this yourself and don't have to go to a restaurant to enjoy it. All you need are a few simple ingredients and a blender.
Ingredients
For a portion of 4 people.
- 2 glasses of water
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 16 tablespoons sugar
- 550 grams of strawberries
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Lemon wedges, strawberry slices, mint leaves and other garnishes (optional)
Step
Step 1. Make the lemonade
Mix water, sugar and lemon juice. You may need to boil the water first so the sugar dissolves in the water.
Step 2. Remove any unnecessary or damaged stems, skins and parts of the strawberry
You can reduce or increase the number of strawberries according to your taste.
Step 3. Put the strawberries in a blender, then add the lemonade to cover the surface of the strawberries
Add ice if you want a bit of a cooling sensation. You can also refrigerate the strawberries ahead of time instead of ice.
Step 4. Blend all ingredients until well blended
Once the ingredients are evenly mixed, pour into the pitcher with the remaining lemonade and stir.
Blending only part of the lemonade will make the strawberries smoother
Step 5. Serve
Pour into glasses and garnish with strawberry slices, lemon wedges, or whatever you like. Serve cold.
Tips
- You can change the ingredients according to your taste.
- You can also add milk and ice cream for a different taste.
- Frozen strawberries can make the blender process better.
