Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons food grade rose water (adjust to taste)
1/3 cup honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
3 cups cold water
1 cup ice cubes
Dried rose petals and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
1. Add fresh strawberries into a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth.
2. Strain the strawberry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher.
3. Pour in fresh lemon juice and add lemon zest.
4. Add rose water and honey or simple syrup.
5. Pour in cold water and stir everything together until well combined.
6. Taste and carefully adjust rose water — add only one teaspoon at a time.
7. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the lemonade over the ice, garnish with dried rose petals and serve immediately.
Notes
Add rose water very carefully one teaspoon at a time — too much makes the drink taste like soap.
Use food grade rose water only — cosmetic rose water is not safe to consume.
Ripe, deeply red strawberries give the most vibrant pink color and sweetest flavor.
This lemonade looks absolutely stunning garnished with dried edible rose petals on top.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days — stir well before serving as it separates naturally.
