Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade image

This recipe comes from the fabulous Moosewood New Classics cookbook and is a perfect summer treat. The recipe says that the strawberry puree can be kept for up to four days in the refrigerator.I don't actually know--it's never lasted that long.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 cups rinsed stemmed and chopped strawberries
1 cup fresh lemon juice
24 ounces sparkling water

Steps:

  • 3 large lemons usually makes at least a cup of juice. Zap the lemons for 1 minute in the microwave to make them as juicy as possible before squeezing.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat combine sugar and water. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid is clear.
  • Pour the sugar syrup into a blender with the strawberries and lemon juice and puree.
  • If serving immediately combine the puree and sparkling water in a pitcher and serve in tall glasses over ice. Or refrigerate the puree and prepare individual servings by mixing equal parts puree and sparkling water.
