Fresh Strawberry Mint Lemonade
Yield: makes about 4 cupsTotal Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
Directions:
Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan
and heat over medium heat to make a simple syrup. Whisk for a minute or
two until sugar dissolves, then once mixture combines to a boil, turn
off heat and set in the fridge to cool for about 10 minutes.
Add strawberries and mint to a blender, pureeing until liquified. Add in lemon juice and simple syrup, pureeing until combined. At this point you can choose to keep the mixture thick with the fruit puree, strain half of it to lighten it a bit or strain all of it to remove the strawberry pulp. It's up to you! Pour mixture into a pitcher and stick in the fridge for 20 minutes until cold. Serve over ice.
