Ingredients:

• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• Pinch of salt
• 4 cups ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Step 1

In a large pitcher, muddle (lightly crush) the halved strawberries with a muddler or the back of a spoon. This will release their delicious juices and vibrant color.

Step 2

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, water, sugar, and salt to the pitcher. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until well chilled.

Step 4

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled strawberry lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves (optional) and serve immediately.

Tips for a Perfect Strawberry Lemonade:

Fresh is Best: For the most vibrant flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and ripe strawberries.

Sweetness to Your Taste: Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Start with ¾ cup and taste-test, adding more if desired.

Straining for Smoothness: If you prefer a smoother lemonade, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after muddling the strawberries.

Fruity Twist! For a fruity twist, add muddled berries, chopped mango, or a splash of pineapple juice to the pitcher.
