Strawberry Lemonade – GEM

DmentD
  • 1 LB strawberries
  • 3 C (24 OZ) water, divided
  • 225 GR sugar
  • 1 C lemon juice
  1. Using a food processor or blender, blitz the strawberries until they are a fine pulp.
  2. Combine 12 OZ (half) of the water and all of the sugar and heat while stirring until all of the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add the remaining water (bonus: add the remaining water as ice to rapidly cool the syrup), strawberries and lemon juice and mix well.
  4. Refrigerate and server over ice.

Yields ~½ GAL of lemonade.

NOTE: If using fresh strawberries, remove the green tops, freeze, then defrost before processing. This will yield a finer pulp and produce more liquid.
