Strawberry lemonade with berry ice cubes

Make a batch of homemade lemonade and flavour with fresh strawberry puree for a perfectly refreshing summer drink. Make your lemonade even cooler with simple berry ice cubes. Not only do they look great but as the ice melts the berries infuse the lemonade with even more flavour.

  • Method

    1. Fruit

      Trim and core strawberries. Cut 3 strawberries into 1cm cubes.

    2. Puree

      Puree remaining strawberries in a food processor or blender. Strain puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.

    3. Ice cubes

      Place 1 to 3 berries in each cube in ice cube tray. Pour water over and freeze until solid.

    4. Lemonade

      Meanwhile, bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sugar is dissolved. Let cool. Combine sugar syrup, remaining cold water, lemon juice, and strawberry puree in a large pitcher. Stir to combine. Add ice cubes and serve immediately.

    5. Handy hint

      Note: For picture perfect ice cubes, fill only halfway with water after adding berries and freeze until solid. Remove from freezer, add water to fill and freeze until solid. This will position the berry in the center of the ice cube (great for pictures but unnecessary for flavour).
