Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • Zest of 1 lemon, cut into strips
  • 2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 cup Chopped, hulled Strawberries
  • 2 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
  1. Make the lemon syrup: Bring the lemon zest, 1½ cups sugar and 3 cups water to a boil in a microwaveable bowl. Stir to dissolve sugar. Cool to room temperature. Once cool remove lemon zest strips.
  2. Make the strawberry syrup: Toss the strawberries and the remaining ½ cup sugar in a bowl and let sit at room temperature until the sugar dissolves; about 45 minutes.
  3. In a blender combine lemon syrup and the strawberries in syrup. Blend well.
  4. Make the lemonade: combine the fresh lemon juice, blended lemon/strawberry syrup, salt, and 2 cups cold water in a picture. Fill glass with ice and top with strawberry lemonade. Garnish with mint or fresh strawberry.
Notes
Add more water or less sugar for a taste that is more tart than sweet.
Fresh mint adds a nice garnish.
