Ingredients
Simple Syrup:
1¼ cups white sugar
1¼ cups water
Peel from 2 lemons
Lemonade:
1 cup fresh strawberries
2 ripe mangoes, diced
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 6–8 lemons)
2¼ cups cold water (reserve ¼ cup for blending)
Prepared simple syrup
Ice cubes to serve
Instructions
1. In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and lemon peel. Warm until sugar dissolves, then steep 15–20 minutes. Strain and let cool.
2. Rinse strawberries and prepare mangoes. Dice fruit and blend with ¼ cup cold water until smooth. Strain for a smoother texture.
3. Juice the lemons and strain to remove seeds. You’ll need about 1 cup of juice.
4. In a pitcher, mix fruit purée, lemon juice, remaining water, and cooled syrup. Stir well to combine.
5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
6. Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices, mango chunks, or strawberries if desired.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
- Freeze extra lemonade into ice cubes to avoid dilution when serving.
- Use Ataulfo or Kent mangoes for smooth texture and flavor.
