We have been enjoying Strawberry Lemonade multiple times per week this spring while organic strawberries are in season and available at a reasonable price. It is a wonderful, refreshing drink, especially when taking a break after working outside. Jon is our beverage-maker (find your beverage-maker in your house).
We have modified the original recipe a bit. My friend, Gwen, made this suggestion when sampling the strawberry lemonade while visiting us from Seattle. She suggested instead of juicing the lemon, after zesting, to peel it (like peeling an orange), pull apart the sections, and add those directly into the blender. Much easier than juicing and then the pulp is not lost. Great idea (thanks, Gwen)!
The first time we made it, we cut the lemon up and put the whole thing into the blender but that turned out rather bitter. By zesting and then peeling, the bitter white pith is not added.
We have also cut down on the honey quantity. As your taste buds adjust to a 100% God-made diet, you might find that things start to taste too sweet to you. As this happens, cut down on the quantity of natural sweetener that you are using.
