Homemade Strawberry-Lemonade Concentrate Recipe
Yields: About 4 cups concentrate (makes ~10-12 cups of lemonade when diluted)
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1½ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 6–8 lemons)
1½ cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
Instructions:
1. Make a strawberry purée:
In a blender or food processor, blend the strawberries until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional).
2. Make a simple syrup:
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Combine:
In a large bowl or pitcher, mix the strawberry purée, lemon juice, and cooled simple syrup. Stir well until fully combined.
4. Store:
Pour into jars or airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
How to Use the Concentrate
To make lemonade, mix 1 part concentrate with 2 to 3 parts cold water, depending on how strong or sweet you like it. Add ice, stir, and enjoy!
