Strawberry Lemonade with Mint

Serves 6

 

What You’ll Need:

A Large Glass Pitcher

Measuring Cups & Spoons

A Strainer

A Sharp Kitchen Knife

A Blender

A Wooden Spoon or Whisk

 

Ingredients:

12 oz Strawberries, Organic

1 Cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice

1/4 Tsp Stevia

8 Cups Water

2 Tbsp Fresh Mint, Organic

 

How To Put It Together:

1) Remove the green tops of the strawberries and cut them into quarters. Chop the mint roughly; set aside. To a blender add the strawberries, and lemon juice; blend to a puree.

2) Hold a strainer on top of a glass pitcher. Pour the strawberry/lemon juice mixture through the strainer to remove the seeds, stirring with a spoon or whisk as needed.

3) To the blender, add about 1 cup of water and the chopped mint. Blend until green and fragrant. Add the mint water to the pitcher. Pour about half of the remaining 7 cups of water into the pitcher; then add the stevia. Pour the remaining water into the pitcher; whisk thoroughly to combine. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to cool until thoroughly chilled.

4) Serve and enjoy!
