This refreshing sweet-tart drink is hydrating, alkalizing, and full of antioxidants with a beautiful pink color. Easy to make only 3 ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh organic strawberries
  • 4 cups cold  filtered water
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (2-3 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, honey, agave or allulose

Instructions

  1. Rinse, hull, and halve the strawberries. Place them in a large blender.
  2. Pour 1 cup of water, the lemon juice, and sweetener over the strawberries. Blend on high for at least 2 minutes or until smooth. It will be a little frothy at first but once it sits, it will smooth out after about 15 minutes. If you want it even smoother you can strain it, but I don’t think it’s necessary.
  3. Pour into a large pitcher and stir in the remaining water. Taste. Stir in more sweetener if you’d like sweeter.
  4. Serve over ice, garnished with a strawberry, lemon slice and mint (optional). For a party you can add in tequila, gin or vodka.
  5. Store in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
