Naturally Sweetened Strawberry Lemonade

June 29, 2018 by Audra 3 Comments

Naturally Sweetened Strawberry Lemonade

To help me get through this long summer with both kiddos home with me, (now 4.5 and 2,) we made a summer bucket list, full of ideas for adventures and at-home activities to keep us busy. Hugo’s favorite are all the food related ones, making s’mores, ice cream, popsicles, and lemonade. (Can you tell he’s my child?)

Naturally Sweetened Strawberry Lemonade

Last week during a mid-nineties heat wave we squeezed up our lemons, pureéd some greenmarket strawberries, sweetened the mixture with some maple syrup so I good feel good serving it to the kids, and added water. Voila! Bright and vibrant strawberry lemonade that we all loved and is perfectly refreshing for hot summer days.

I didn’t taste the syrup at all and it added the perfect easy-to-mix-in sweetness that made the whole thing a breeze.

We made a second batch after berry picking this week and can see this becoming our new summer tradition. (Perhaps mixed with some vodka for a happy hour treat?)
