Ingredients for Strawberry Lemonade:

1 pound of strawberries, washed and hulled
2 cups of granulated sugar
9 cups of cold water, divided
1 tsp of lemon zest
1½ cups of fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp of pure lemon extract
¼ tsp of pure strawberry extract

How to Make Strawberry Lemonade:

Step 1

Prepare the strawberries, then add them to a blender, and blend them into a puree. Pour the puree into a large saucepan, then add 2 cups of cold water followed by the sugar and lemon zest, and then place the saucepan on a stove over low heat.

Step 2

Heat the mixture while stirring consistently until the sugar has dissolved, then let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes, and make sure to keep stirring.

Step 3

Turn off the heat, then remove the saucepan from the stove, and allow the mixture to cool. Once ready, double-strain the mixture into a pitcher, then pour in the lemon juice and remaining cups of water, and give them a good stir.

Step 4

Add the lemon extract and strawberry extract, then give them another stir to combine, and place the pitcher in the refrigerator. Let it chill until ready to serve, then pour on a serving glass over ice, and enjoy!
