Ingredients
Strawberry Simple Syrup
- 3 cups strawberries, washed and stems removed, then sliced (should measure three cups after they are sliced)
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
Lemonade
- Country Time Lemonade, follow directions on the container to make 2 quarts
Garnish
- Lemon, Sliced
- Strawberries, Sliced
- Ice
Instructions
- In a large pitcher make 2 quarts Country Time Lemonade according to package directions. Place in the freezer to chill while making the strawberry simple syrup.
- In a medium saucepan add 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, and sliced strawberries. Cook over medium-high and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until strawberries are soft and the liquid is a deep red color.
- Strain the strawberries using a mesh strainer into your pitcher. Press down on the strawberries gently, but make sure to not press too hard. You don’t want any strawberry chunks in your lemonade.
- Let the strawberry simple syrup cool for 15 minutes.
- Once cooled add strawberry simple syrup to the cold Country Time Lemonade.
- Serve over ice, sliced lemons, and sliced strawberries!
Notes
- Using cold water to make the lemonade will help speed up the chilling process. This will make sure your summery drink is extra cold when served!
- Add fun patterned paper straws to dress up your drink.
