Ingredients
Scale
- 1 2/3 cups fresh lemon juice (from 6–7 lemons)
- 8 cups of water
- 1 2/3 cup sugar (or less, depending on how you like it)
- 3 strawberries (ends removed and cut in half)
- 2 rounded tablespoons blueberries
Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow the mixture to cool until it has reached room temperature. Then refrigerate until chilled.
- Juice lemons (removing seeds but keeping the pulp). Set aside. In a blender combine the blueberries, strawberries, and 1 cup of water. Blend well.
- In a pitcher, pour in the lemon juice. Place a mesh strainer over the pitcher and pour the blueberry/strawberry mixture into the strainer.
- Use a large spoon to squeeze most of the liquid into the pitcher and leave most of the pulp in the strainer.
- Remove the strainer and stir in chilled water/sugar mixture and 6 cups of water. Mix well and put into the refrigerator until chilled.
