Description
A refreshing and easy frozen strawberry lemonade made with just five simple ingredients, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen strawberries (280g)
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (120ml, about 3–4 lemons)
- 3 tablespoons honey or agave nectar (45ml)
- 1 cup cold water (240ml) – can be swapped for sparkling water
- 1 to 1 ½ cups ice cubes (240-360ml)
Instructions
- Juice the lemons by rolling them on the counter, cutting in half, and squeezing out about ½ cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds if desired.
- Add 2 cups frozen strawberries, ½ cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 cup cold water, and 1 cup ice cubes to the blender. Add more ice if a thicker texture is desired.
- Blend on high until smooth and frothy, aiming for a thick, slushy consistency. Adjust by adding more water if too thick or more ice if too thin.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if too tart, or add more water or ice if lemon flavor is too strong.
- Serve immediately in tall glasses, garnished with lemon slices, fresh strawberries, or mint if desired.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for best texture. Fresh lemon juice is essential for bright flavor. Adjust sweetness gradually. For a fizzy twist, swap cold water for sparkling water after blending. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and stir or blend before drinking. Avoid refreezing leftovers to maintain texture.
