Huge kudos to my sister who came up with the best way to make this amazing strawberry lemonade.   It's definitely a special summer treat.  Absolutely the best strawberry lemonade.  The sugar syrup poured over the frozen strawberries works perfectly.  No more sugar granules resting at the bottom of your lemonade.  Yum! 

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!
