Strawberry Lemonade
Optional Fairly Long Video Title Here
What's more refreshing than lemonade? Strawberry lemonade. I'm talking fresh strawberries, none of that powdered pink sugar drink. And what makes it even more refreshing is knowing that the strawberries used are ones from your very own AeroGarden. So go ahead and pluck those juicy red berries and enjoy them in this delicious drink for that hot summer day.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 lb strawberries (1 1/2 cups), trimmed and halved
- 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 5 lemons)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 cups cold water
- Ice
PREPARATION
- Purée strawberries with 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a blender until smooth, then force through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Stir together strawberry purée, remaining lemon juice, 1 cup sugar, and water in a large pitcher until sugar is dissolved. Taste, then add more sugar if desired. Serve over ice.
Change it up! Add fresh mint or basil from your AeroGarden to the blender when you purée the strawberries!
YIELD: Makes about 1 1/2 quarts
