Fresh pitchers of strawberry lemonade
The perfect accompaniment to a big homemade enchiladas feast! Grilled veggies, grilled corn mixed with spices and cheese, homemade guacamole, salsa and bean dip with chips. Yum!
A-Ma-Zing Homemade Strawberry Lemonade
This recipe will make TWO large pitchers of strawberry lemonade. I like to use a stick blender to blend the final drink together.
Squeeze, removing seeds but keeping any pulp:
9 fresh lemons
You want to have approximately 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice.
In a pan, heat until just boiling, so all the sugar dissolves. Then, remove from heat:
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
In a 4 cup measure cup, place:
2 cups frozen strawberries
1 cup ice
Pour the hot syrup over the strawberries and ice. Set aside.
*** Each item below should be divided between TWO large pitchers***
1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice, from above
4 cups water plus ice to equal a total of 5 1/2 cups water
4 cups of strawberry/sugar syrup, from above
I like to scoop out the strawberries and divide them evenly between pitchers before diving the sugar syrup between the pitchers.
Use a stick blender to blend up the strawberry-lemonade.
This will be nice and cold and can be served immediately. Best made and enjoyed fresh. You can certainly halve the recipe if you don't want as much - but if you're sharing, you may want to make the full recipe! Enjoy!
Two fresh jugs of homemade strawberry lemonade. Yum!
