A bright and refreshing honey-sweetened strawberry lemonade made with fresh strawberries, real lemon juice, and natural honey for a smooth floral sweetness. Perfect for warm days, gatherings, or anytime you need a vibrant homemade drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice, from about 4 to 6 lemons
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 cups cold water
- 2 cups ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries, then add them to a blender with 1 cup of cold water. Blend until completely smooth.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, pour the strawberry puree through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove seeds and pulp.
- Add the fresh lemon juice and honey to the pitcher.
- Pour in the remaining 2 cups of cold water and stir thoroughly until the honey is fully dissolved.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to blend.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemonade over the top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use room temperature honey so it dissolves more easily.
- Taste before chilling and adjust sweetness with extra honey if needed.
- For a sparkling version, replace part of the cold water with sparkling water just before serving.
- Store in a sealed pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and stir before serving.
