    Can I Use Frozen Strawberries?

    If good strawberries are hard to find you can use frozen strawberries. I recommend using whole strawberries and letting them defrost some. Then add the juice that melted + strawberries to pan.

    How To Make Strawberry Lemonade

    Sugar and water being poured into a pan, boiled and stirred then added to glass to cool.

    Step One: Make a simple syrup. and yes it is as simple as the name implies. 

    • in a sauce pan add sugar
    • water
    • stir, bring to boil and remove from heat.
    • store in an air tight container. Let cool while preparing other ingredients. 
    • Wash and slice your strawberries in half.
    • Then in a medium sauce pan add sugar, lemon juice, water and strawberries.

    Prepare your Strawberries 

    Wash and cut your strawberries. Removing the stems. You can throw them into the blender whole or sliced. Blend until it is completely smooth. 

    If desired strain in a fine mesh strainer.

    Juice your lemons. I really love this juicer. It's pressure activated and makes juicing citrus a breeze! 

    Stir Fresh Strawberry Lemonade Ingredients Together

    2. Pour in your fresh lemon juice

    3.  Pour the entire mixture of simple syrup in. 

    4. Finish with 3-5 cups ice cold water. 

    PROTIP: start with about 3 cups of ice water. If you feel you would like your lemonade less sweet than add 1 cup at a time. Remember the ice will melt and also dilute the flavor.

    Store strawberry lemonade in an airtight pitcher or container in the refrigerator. If stored in the refrigerator, this strawberry lemonade recipe should last for about 2-3 days. However, it's best to drink it within the first day or two for the freshest taste.

      I love the idea of making strawberry syrup! How far in advance do you recommend making this? I am hosting a party and would rather do things a couple nights or more beforehand if possible, to avoid rushing the night before! Thank you!

        Hi Rose! If you keep the syrup refrigerated in a air tight container it will last for 2 weeks in the fridge before you mix it with water!.
