Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup honey or sugar
- 6 large lemons, juiced (1 1/2 cups lemon juice)
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled
- 5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rosewater (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the honey or simple syrup by combining 1 cup of water and 3/4 cup of honey or sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a low simmer, stirring until the honey or sugar is fully dissolved (about a minute). If using sugar, the liquid should change from gray to clear; with honey, it should become cohesive.
- In a blender, combine the lemon juice and hulled strawberries. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth, ensuring no strawberry pieces remain.
- In a pitcher, mix the strawberry lemon puree, honey water (or sugar water), optional rosewater, and 4 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or sugar according to your preference.
For a twist, try adding fresh mint leaves for an aromatic flavor.
Chill the drink before serving for an extra refreshing taste.
