    • Sugar & Water to Make Simple Sugar syrup
    • Fresh strawberries to make homemade puree & a few Sliced strawberries for garnish.
    • Freshly squeezed Lime juice
    • Ice cubes 

    easy homemade strawberry lemonade

    Strawberry Lemonade Recipe

    Prepare Sugar Syrup: 

    First You need to prepare simple syrup. It is a sugar and water syrup that is made by boiling an equal amount of refined sugar and water. This mixture is boiled and cooled till all sugar dissolves. Then this mixture is cooled and used as required.

    Making Strawberry crush

    For this take fresh strawberries, remove the green leafy part and stalk. In a blender or food processor add a little water and blend it to make fresh strawberry puree or juice. I do not strain it as it is easy to blend fruit.

    Lemon Juice

    Squeeze Fresh Lemons to extract lemon juice. I like to strain it mostly to avoid tiny seeds. 

    Extras: I like to add a few mint leaves and a few slices of lemon, strawberries to be used as a garnish. 

    Now to stir up lemonade, in a pitcher add sugar syrup, strawberry juice and fresh lemon juice along with a few crushed mint leaves or basil leaves as per your taste preference. Also add a few ice cubes and stir it with a stirrer. 

    Pour it in serving glasses and enjoy a cool strawberry lemonade to chill on a summer afternoon or as a pre-dinner drink. 

    Strawberry Lemonade Variations

    You can even use this same recipe with other fresh berries like raspberries, blueberries, blackberries etc. Other fresh berries taste just as delicious. 

    Cocktail Strawberry lemonade with Vodka: Make it into a cocktail by adding a splash of vodka!

    Strawberry basil Lemonade: Add crushed basil leaves to this lemonade recipe to make a delicious and refreshing strawberry basil lemonade. 

    Strawberry Mint Lemonade: Fresh mint adds a touch of nice refreshing flavours in this homemade fruity lemonade. I always add a few crushed mint leaves in the lemonade and use a few extra mint leaves for garnish.

    Tips to Make Best Strawberry Lemonade

    • It is a very forgiving recipe but by taking care of a few things you can make the best strawberry lemonade. 
    • Pick fresh, ripe and juicy strawberries. Frozen strawberries work okay but nothing compares to the taste of fresh strawberries when it comes to this refreshing summer drink. 
    • Only use frozen strawberries when fresh ones are not in season or not accessible easily.
    • I use whole crushed strawberries but if a tiny seed bothers you you can strain the strawberry puree. 
    • This lemonade can be made without mint or basil but Mint adds a nice brightness to the lemonade.
    • To extract maximum juice from lemons, roll whole lemons onto a flat surface before cutting and then extract the juice. You will get a good extra amount of lemon juice.
    • A little bit of lemon zest will add more flavour to strawberry lemonade.

    Storage:

    You can make this fresh fruity lemonade in advance and store it in the fridge for 1-2 days. I still advise getting all components ready and assembling them just before serving. 

    Can You Freeze Fresh Lemonade?

    There are two ways to freeze strawberry lemonade.

    1. Mix the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and crushed or juiced strawberries. Put them in an ice cube tray and freeze. Once they freeze, take them out and store them in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag or a stash bag. Use as required. 
    2. The second method which I prefer is to freeze simple sugar syrup, strawberry puree, and fresh lemon juice in an ice cube tray individually. Store them in ziplock bags or stash bags and make a fresh homemade lemonade in minutes at any time of the year. 

    The advantage of this method is you can use proportions of ingredients as per individual likings of the family. And these exact individual components can be used in other dishes as well. Which Alcohol You Add to Make Cocktails.
