Ingredients
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup water
Peels of 2 lemons
2 mangoes, peeled and diced
1 cup strawberries
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6–8 lemons)
2 1/4 cups cold water (1/4 cup for blending)
Ice (for serving)
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and lemon peels. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
In a blender, add diced mango, strawberries, and 1/4 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth. Strain 1–2 times if desired.
In a large pitcher, mix fruit purée, lemon juice, and the cooled syrup. Stir well.
Add 2 cups of cold water and adjust sweetness or tartness to your liking.
Serve over ice and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, chill the lemonade for 30–60 minutes before serving. Add fresh mint or sparkling water for a fun twist.
