Strawberry Mint Lemonade

Refreshing and naturally sweet, this Strawberry Mint Lemonade combines fresh strawberries and fragrant mint with zesty lemons for a perfect summer drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

  • Mint sprigs and strawberry slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the strawberries, mint leaves, and 1 cup of water; blend until smooth.
  2. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove seeds and pulp.
