Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 7 lemons, or 375mls)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (300g)
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 4 - 5 cups cold water (1 litre or more)
  • 10 large strawberries (hulled and cut into pieces)

Instruction

  • Add the sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice into a heat-proof jug or measuring cup and add the boiling water.
  • Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Once it's cooled down a bit, pour it into a blender along with at least eight to ten large strawberries. Blend until the strawberries are pureed.
  • Pour it into a 2 quart pitcher and add four cups of cold water to dilute it, stirring well. Add more to water if needed according to taste.
  • Taste it and see if it has enough strawberry flavor for you, if not, pour a large portion of the lemonade back into the blender, add more strawberries, and blend again. It will vary depending on how flavorful your strawberries are.
  • If you prefer not to have any pulp or seeds, you can pour the lemonade through a fine sieve to strain.
