recipe tips
Depending on how naturally sweet your strawberries are, you may not need to add a lot of sweetener. So feel free to adjust the ratio of water and honey depending on how sweet and strong you like your lemonade.
The lighter the strawberries, the riper they are. Pick the reddest ones you can find for the sweetest strawberry lemonade.
For the lemonade, you need freshly squeezed lemon juice and not the bottled stuff. When bottled, it doesn’t taste as fresh and bright as fresh. Also, this stuff usually has a bitter note and leaves a slightly unpleasant aftertaste.
You can add variety by using sparkling water instead of regular water.
Don’t have strawberries? Try it with blueberries or raspberries!
If you wish, you can substitute sugar, agave, stevia, or another natural sweetener for honey.
Add a dash of vodka to make it a strawberry lemonade cocktail!
Just before serving, stir in chopped strawberries, lemon, and sprigs of mint, if desired.
