Sugar Free Strawberry Lemonade
Equipment
- blender
- knife
- cutting board
- measuring cup
- strainer
- large bowl
- pitcher
Ingredients
- 2 large lemons organic
- 1 cup strawberries organic
- 3-4 cups water
- your favorite sweetener maple syrup, honey, monkfruit, stevia, etc.
- 1 cup water if using monkfruit sweetener
- ice
- mint (optional) organic
Instructions
- Wash the lemons really well, do not peel, and cut them into fourths. Remove the seeds you see.
- Wash the strawberries, remove the stems and leaves.
- Place the lemons and strawberries in the blender. Pour water and blend on low and medium settings for about 15 seconds. The mixture will be chunky. (Blending for only 15 seconds is recommended so that the mixture won't be too tart).
- Pour the mixture through a strainer into a large bowl or a pitcher. Using the back of a spoon, press pulp to juice as much as possible.
- If using the monkfruit sweetener : Make the simple syrup by adding the water that is listed for the simple syrup. Mix the powder really well with a spoon until fully dissolved. Water will be a little yellow but clear and will resemble apple juice.
- Add your favorite sweetener (monkfruit simple syrup, honey, maple syrup, stevia, etc) to the lemonade, mix well and taste it. If it needs to be sweeter, add more sweetener.
- If using the monkfruit sweetener, add 1/4 tsp. of monk fruit powder to the lemonade and stir well into fully dissolved. Continue adding 1/4 tsp. of the sweetener until it tastes the way you like. Just make sure to dissolve it completely.
- Pour the lemonade into the pitcher, if not in one already.
- Add ice and mint leaves into glasses, then pour your delicious, freshly made, sugar-free strawberry lemonade. Enjoy!
