Description
Your new favorite summer beverage–an easy and refined sugar-free strawberry lemonade that is sweetened with dates and made with just 4 simple ingredients!
Ingredients
- 3 cups filtered water
- 1 cup (140g) diced strawberries
- 1/4 cup (50 g) medjool dates*
- Juice of 2 lemons (about 1/4 cup or to taste; we used Meyer)
- Optional: 2-3 sprigs of fresh mint
Equipment
-
- Large storage containers, such as a pitcher, mason jar, or similar container
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, blend all of the ingredients together (except for the mint) until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any date pulp. This is not necessary but highly recommended for smooth lemonade.
- Transfer into an airtight container and add in the sprigs of mint if using. Seal and place into the refrigerator for 1 hour or until chilled.
- Serve over ice.
Notes
- If your dates are not soft, soak them in hot water for about 20 minutes or until softened, and drain before use.
- Add more dates if you want the lemonade sweeter!
