Old Fashioned Strawberry Rhubarb Pink Lemonade | Refined Sugar-Free
A delicious and healthy way to drink something refreshing in the summer with this Old Fashioned Strawberry Rhubarb Pink Lemonade recipe. Refined Sugar-Free. Try to look for organic strawberries to minimize your exposure to pesticides.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup rhubarb peeled and diced
- 1 cup organic strawberries washed, trimmed, and cut in quarters
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1/2 cup raw honey organic if possible (can be replaced with maple syrup)
- 1 1/2 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed (approx. 5-6 large lemons)
- 4 cups filtered water
Instructions
-
In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, put 2 cups water with the prepared rhubarb and strawberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
-
Turn the heat off, mix in the honey, and let sit for 5 more minutes. Pour everything in a strainer over a large bowl and, using a spoon, crush the rhubarb and strawberries to get as much juice out as possible. If you wish, put cooked strawberry rhubarb mixture in a blender first, and then through the sieve, to get as much out as possible.
-
Add the lemon juice and the rest of the water, mix well and put in the fridge to cool for a couple of hours. Serve cold. Enjoy!
