How to Make Pink Lemonade

Step 1

If you don't have simple syrup to hand, prepare it as per this method. Using a ratio of 1:1 water to sugar, heat together in a pan until the sugar dissolves.It's best to do this in advance so the syrup can cool down - you can also store it in the fridge for a few weeks.

Step 2

Juice the lemons. For the most juice, use a citrus juicer. If you don't have one, follow my guide for getting the most juice out of your lemons.

Step 3

In a small bowl or jar, muddle/mash the berries. If you prefer, pass the mashed fruit through a sieve so you can strain the juice out. However, I like using the whole muddled mix.

Step 4

Combine the lemon juice, simple syrup, strawberries, and water in a large jug and give it a good stir. Taste the lemonade and adjust any of the ingredients if needed - a bit more water or sugar syrup, etc.Serve with ice and a few stalks of mint and some lemon slices to garnish.

Step 5

Leftover homemade lemonade will store in the refrigerator for 4-5 days when covered. Just give it a quick stir before using and away you go.
