Strawberry lemonade recipe

Ingredients

• 175g sugar
• 400g strawberries, hulled and quartered, plus extra whole strawberries to serve (optional)
• 200ml freshly squeezed lemon juice (the juice of about 4-5 lemons)
• ice, to serve

Method

STEP 1

Tip the sugar and 1 litre water into a saucepan over a medium heat and heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.

STEP 2

Put the strawberries in a blender and blitz to a purée. You can strain this through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds, if you prefer. Tip the strawberry purée into a large jug with the sugar water and lemon juice, and stir to combine. Pour into glasses filled with ice and serve garnished with whole strawberries, if you like.
