    Summer is almost here. Cold drinks are what everyone needs when it starts to warm up. We love refreshing drinks to beat the heat, right? We make our drinks at home because it is simple and fun. I made easy strawberry pie yesterday and there were a lot of strawberries left. I can’t think of a better treat to use them up than a very refreshing Strawberry Mint Lemonade!

    How To Make

    The recipe has three easy steps.

    First prepare a basic lemonade mixture. Whisk together hot water and sugar until sugar dissolves. Add in lemon juice, thin lemon slices and mint leaves, let it come to room temperature. Chill it in the  to cool for about 30 minutes.

    Second, make your homemade strawberry puree. Blend strawberries in a blender until smooth.

    Third, combine the chilled mint lemonade and strawberry puree by whisking them with a spoon. Strain the mixture using a clean cheese cloth or a strainer to remove the pulp. Chill at least for an hour.

    Finally, serve with a lot of ice, fresh mint leaves, lemon wedges and strawberries.

    Tips

    Making homemade lemonade is not rocket science, and everyone has their own version. You can make lemonade simply by mixing lemon juice, water and sugar, but there are some tips to make your lemonade perfect. These tips are true for this strawberry mint lemonade as well.

    The first and the most important thing is that sugar must be dissolved in water well and you can succeed this by using hot water.

    Another thing is you should toss in some zest or lemon slices with their skins into the mixture when hot and add pureed strawberries when it cools down a bit so that you feel the flavors better. Chill it after these and serve with lots of ice.

    Notes

    The sweet and musky strawberries pair wonderfully with the zesty flavor of lemons, which makes this strawberry mint lemonade a unique summer treat. The pretty pink color of this lemonade easily attracts children’s attention, so they will like it more than plain lemonade. This lovely looking lemonade makes a great drink for birthday parties or school parties of your kids.

    If you don't want to use refined sugar, sweeten it with maple syrup. Add maple syrup into hot water, whisk in lemon juice and lemon slices and follow the other steps as they are.

    You can use whatever sweetener you like. Honey or grape molasses would work fine too. They would definitely make the lemonade even more nutritious, so if you are planning to make it for kids; these would be better options.

    FAQs

    Is pink lemonade the same as strawberry lemonade?

    No, it is not. Pink lemonade is mostly colored with a pink food coloring and maybe a little strawberry flavor. On the other hand, strawberry lemonade contains real strawberries, either fresh or frozen.

    Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh strawberries?

    Yes, you can. Just thaw them beforehand and then puree in a food processor.

    How long can strawberry mint lemonade stay fresh?

    It stays fresh in the fridge for 2-3 days. Remove the mint leaves if you are planning to store it in the fridge as they might give a bit bitterness to the lemonade.
