Ingredients
- SIMPLE SYRUP:
- 1 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 1/4 cup hot water
- STRAWBERRY JUICE:
- 10 ounces strawberries
- 1 cup water
- LEMON JUICE:
- 1 cup lemon juice about 8 large lemons
- 4 cups water
Method
- Stir the sugar into the hot water in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until the syrup is clear and the sugar has dissolved. Chill it to room temperature.
- Blend the strawberries with the water until completely smooth, then strain the juice through a fine sieve set over a bowl, pressing and swirling with a spoon to help it through and leave the seeds behind.
- Combine the lemon juice and water in a large pitcher with all the strawberry juice and 1 cup of the syrup. Taste, then add the rest of the syrup for more sweetness or a little water to soften the flavour.
- Chill the lemonade in the fridge, or pour it over ice in glasses and serve it cold.
