Delicious Martha Stewart Strawberry Lemonade Recipe
So after thinking about this Capri Sun mishap, I started craving some good fruit juice. And then when I say my local grocery had a good deal on strawberries, I knew it was fate. Say hello to this Delicious Martha Stewart Strawberry Lemonade recipe. It’s sure to please everyone in the family & your pooch may even beg for a taste! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 pint strawberries
- 8 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons superfine sugar
- 8 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Seltzer water
What’s Next:
Before squeezing juice from the lemons, roll them on the countertop, applying gentle pressure with the heel of your palm. This will really get the lemons’ juices flowing and make it easier to squeeze them.
Purée strawberries and 2 teaspoons sugar in a blender. Set out two glasses, and spoon 3 tablespoons of the resulting strawberry purée, 4 tablespoons sugar, and 4 tablespoons lemon juice into each glass. Stir the lemonade, and add ice. Top off the glasses with seltzer water. Add more sugar if desired. And that’s all, good work!
