Fresh Strawberry Mint Lemonade.
Happy start of summer!
To celebrate, let’s make a super refreshing beverage. Exclamation points!!
All you gotta do is mash up some fruit and herbs…
…and pour it in a pretty glass. Or directly into your mouth.
Summer in a cup!
Fresh Strawberry Mint Lemonade
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
Instructions
- 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 pitchen and stick in the fridge for 20 minutes until cold. Serve over ice.

I just used up the last of a strawberry mint herbal tea blend.
Will have to try this!
This sounds so yummy! Would be such a great drink for a summer party or would be fun just to mix up for a weekday treat!
This looks superb for summer! Way to go Jessica!
Looks delicious!
Wow, this looks so amazingly refreshing! I can’t wait to make this :)
I made this last night for myself and my fiancé. I mixed it with 50% Pink Champagne. It was FABULOUS! Also really good mixed with Perrier or San Pellegrino
