Swingin Strawberry Lemonade Recipes

Steps:

• Make the lemon syrup: Bring the lemon zest, 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring, until the sugar dissolves; let cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, make the strawberry syrup: Toss the strawberries and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl and let sit at room temperature until the sugar dissolves, about 45 minutes. Strain the strawberry mixture; reserve the strawberry syrup and berries separately.
• Make the lemonade: Combine the lemon juice, lemon syrup, salt and 2 cups cold water in a pitcher. For each drink, put about 1 tablespoon of the strawberry syrup in a tall glass. Fill with ice, then top with the lemonade and some of the reserved strawberries.

Steps:

• In a large pitcher, mix together lemonade concentrate and water. Stir in strawberries.

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries with 1 cup of the sugar and 1 cup of water.
• In a large container, mix together 11 cups water, the remaining 2 cups sugar, the lemon juice and the strawberry mixture. Stir and taste, adding more sugar if you like. Refrigerate until well chilled.

Steps:

• Mix strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar together in a bowl; set aside for juices to release from strawberries, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan; add 3/4 cup sugar. Cook and stir sugar mixture until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool simple syrup to room temperature.
• Stir simple syrup, 6 cups water, lemon juice, and ice together in a pitcher. Add sweetened strawberries and stir.

Steps:

• Alternate adding the strawberries and lemon to the juicer, and process until juiced. Transfer the juice to a pitcher, and add the sugar and mineral water. Mix well. Pour the juice into two glasses, and garnish the rim of each with a Fruit Skewer (see Garnishes with a Twist), if desired.From ULTIMATE JUICING: delicious recipes for over 125 of the best fruit and vegetable juice combinations.
