Calling all pink lemonade fans! This one is for you. Fresh summer strawberries are the key to this classic refresher.
Makes 1.8 liters (2 quarts/8 cups)
Trim off the strawberry stems, and then cut each berry in half.
With an adult’s help, puree the strawberries in a blender or mini prep food processor until completely smooth.
Pour the strawberry puree through a fine-mesh strainer (to remove the seeds) into a pitcher or drink dispenser.*
Whisk in the lemon juice and sugar, and whisk until all of the sugar is dissolved.
Pour in the water and whisk until it’s all mixed together.
*Stick your arm in the mouth of your pitcher or dispenser—if it’s too small for you to easily whisk the lemonade, mix the ingredients in a large bowl instead. Once it’s all combined, set your pitcher or dispenser in a sink (to catch any spills!) and carefully pour the lemonade into it.
GO BIG: You can take this base recipe and double the ingredients as needed to fit larger pitchers or drink dispensers.
