A bright and refreshing drink made with sweet strawberries and fresh lemon juice. Lightly tangy, naturally sweet, and perfect for cooling down on warm days.
Equipment
- blender
- fine mesh sieve (optional)
- pitcher
- serving glasses
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the strawberries into a blender and blend until smooth. Optionally strain to remove seeds for a smoother texture.
- Add the fresh lemon juice and blend briefly until well combined. Adjust to taste if needed.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately while cold, or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
Use ripe, in-season strawberries for the best sweetness and flavor. Adjust the lemon juice to balance tartness to your liking. Strain if you prefer a smoother texture without seeds. Variations include using frozen strawberries for a slushy version, adding mint for freshness, or topping with sparkling water. Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir before serving, or freeze into cubes for later use.
