Method

Prepare Your Ingredients:

If you’re using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the green tops. For frozen strawberries, you can use them directly from the freezer.

Juice the Lemons:

Roll the lemons on the counter to loosen the juice, then cut them in half and squeeze out the juice using a juicer or by hand, ensuring no seeds get in.

Blend the Ingredients:

In a blender, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, ice, and water. Blend until smooth. You can adjust the sugar based on your sweetness preference.

Taste and Adjust:

Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or lemon juice. Blend again if you make any adjustments.

Serve:

Pour the frozen strawberry lemonade into glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best texture!

Variations

Berry Medley: Swap out some strawberries for blueberries or raspberries for a mixed berry version.

Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade: Replace water with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for a fizzy twist.

Alcoholic Version: Add a splash of vodka or rum for an adult version of this refreshing drink.

Tips and Substitutions

Sweetener Alternatives: For a healthier option, use honey, agave nectar, or a sugar substitute like Stevia. Adjust the quantity to taste, as some alternatives are sweeter than sugar.

Dietary Needs: This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free, making it suitable for various diets.

Make Ahead: You can prepare the lemonade a few hours in advance. Just store it in the freezer, and give it a good stir before serving.
