Strawberry Lemonade
Strawberry lemonade is a refreshing drink to enjoy all summer long. It only takes lemonade mix and a sweet strawberry simple syrup to make this lemonade.
Ingredients
Strawberry Simple Syrup
- 3 cups strawberries washed and stems removed, then sliced (should measure three
- cups after they are sliced)
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
Lemonade
- Country Time Lemonade follow directions on the container to make 2 quarts
Garnish
- Lemon Sliced
- Strawberries Sliced
- Ice
Instructions
- In a large pitcher make 2 quarts of Country Time Lemonade according to package directions. Place in the freezer to chill while making the strawberry simple syrup.
- In a medium saucepan add 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, and sliced strawberries. Cook over medium-high and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until strawberries are soft and the liquid is a deep red color.
- Strain the strawberries using a mesh strainer into your pitcher. Press down on the strawberries gently, but make sure to not press too hard. You don’t want any strawberry chunks in your lemonade.
- Let the strawberry simple syrup cool for 15 minutes.
- Once cooled add strawberry simple syrup to the cold Country Time Lemonade.
- Serve over ice, sliced lemons, and sliced strawberries!
Notes
Using cold water to make the lemonade will help speed up the chilling process. This will make sure your summery drink is extra cold when served!
