| I like to freeze this strawberry lemonade partially so that it gets slushy and super cold. So good!! |
I don't know too many things that is as refreshing on sweltering days than a cold glass of homemade strawberry lemonade.
I'm talking pure, authentic strawberry lemonade. Not that artificial, bitter, chemically tasting stuff you get at most grocery stores.

This recipe hit the spot if you are searching for a strawberry lemonade recipe that is smooth, pure of artificial dyes, flavors, and concentrates. It's sweet with just a nice hint of lemon.
(If you prefer a tart strawberry lemonade simply add more fresh lemon juice.)
INGREDIENTS
2 cups water
1 1/2- 2 cups sugar
zest of 2 lemons
1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
25 large, fresh strawberries
6-7 cups of water (more or less to suit your taste)
Watch me make this strawberry lemonade recipe from start to finish!
MAKE IT BUBBLY!! Replace the water with sparkling water to make a fizzy strawberry lemonade
MAKE IT HARD!! Replace 1 or 2 cups of water with vodka or alcohol of your choice.
MAKE IT FROZEN!! Add in some of the strawberry pulp and place some water and ice into a blender (this will need to be done in batches unless you have a really large blender)
Wow that looks good. I am so making this. I'm getting some fresh strawberries asap so I can make this drink.

Monique,
ReplyDeleteI saw your recipe for your grandmother's zucchini bread a while back and I just made some of it today. It's in the oven as I'm typing. I couldn't wait for it to bake so I tried some of the batter. Wow, is all I can say. I added some nutmeg to the recipe because I love how it compliments to cinnamon. You seriously have a gift. I know that the bread will turn out awesome. If it tasted that good raw then I can only imagine what it tastes like when it's baked. Keep up the good work and I want to let you know how much of a positive role model you are for the black community. We need more people like you.
Love your blogs and delicious recipes! BTW, where did your other blog go???!!!! Hope it's not gone for good -- I loved it! :(
