Pink Lemonade
This homemade pink lemonade is a refreshing summer drink. Made with citrusy orange and lemon, it gets the signature pink color from the sweet and tart strawberries.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 large lemon sliced
- 1 large orange sliced
- 3 3/4 cups strawberries trimmed
- 1 1/2 cups water cold
Instructions
- In a large saucepan add all ingredients and then add the cold water. Bring this to boil, stirring regularly until the sugar has dissolved and then leave to cool slightly.
- Pour the syrup mixture through a sieve. Use a spoon to press the pulp to extract all the juices. Let the syrup cool completely.
- To serve, combine one part syrup to three parts water or carbonated water. Add ice and drink immediately.
Notes
TO STORE: Refrigerate the pink syrup concentrate in an airtight jar for one week.
TO FREEZE: You can freeze the syrup in ice cube trays and use them later in lemonades, iced teas, or popsicles.
