Ingredients
You need just 4 ingredients for this easy strawberry mint lemonade that are strawberry, lemon, mint, and sugar. Other than that you’ll need water and ice to chill.
How to make it?
Making this homemade strawberry lemonade is easy. Just have a look at the visuals and read the instructions as needed.
- Put strawberry, mint, sugar, ice, and water in a blender .
- Blend into a smooth liquid, do a taste test here.
- Fill glasses with juice.
- I’m adding very little lemon soda for boasting the flavors but you can skip that altogether if you avoid carbonated drinks. Do not increase lemon soda measures as adding more lemon soda dilutes strawberry mint flavors.
- I have added a little extra lemon that’ll hit the palate. And yum! I love it. Play around with tweaks in the recipe, if needed.
- Serve with fresh mint leaves. You can also garnish by hooking a strawberry and lemon slice on the brim of each glass of this fresh lemonade.
Expert Tips
Fresh or frozen: I used fresh strawberries but frozen are equally good and even nutritious. Why? Because they are fully ripened when plucked from the vine and frozen. Fresh strawberries are plucked when they are still ripened. Isn’t that amazing to know?
Variation
- For Strawberry lemon soda, I love sparkling strawberry lemon soda.
- If you love to mix more fruit juices in this lemonade for a complex taste. Try it with watermelon or apple or guava. Yes, guava pulp will taste amazing in this juice. You can try this lemonade with other berries too.
- For slushie: Blend frozen strawberries and switch most of the water in the recipe with ice.
Yes, I’ve tried the recipe with both fresh and frozen strawberries. Frozen strawberries give a slushy-like texture. If you skip the ice and add cold water, it will give you the perfect texture.
Fresh strawberry chunks can be added to this.
If you prefer a smoother texture, straining can help. And it will taste more like pink lemonade (HuffPost).
Strawberry Mint and Lemon; this combo of flavors is refreshing and balanced on its own. Adding lemon soda gives the drink a refreshing boost especially if served at a party. But you can skip it and add a little water. Adjust sweetness if/as needed.
