Homemade strawberry lemonade with simple syrup is a very refreshing drink. This recipe uses ripe strawberries and plenty of fresh lemon juice to make the best pink lemonade ever! It's so refreshing when served chilled on a hot summer day.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 12 fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

  • 1 cup white sugar, divided

  • 7 cups water, divided

  • 2 cups ice cubes

  • 1 cup lemon juice

Directions

  1. Mix together strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl until evenly coated; set aside for juices to release from strawberries, 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan; add remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and cool simple syrup to room temperature.

  3. Stir together remaining 6 cups water, ice, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a pitcher until well combined. Stir in sweetened strawberries.

Cook’s Note

I always mix together ice and simple syrup first and give it a good stir so that the syrup is nice and cold before I add the remaining ingredients.

Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp.
