Citric Acid Free Strawberry Mint Lemonade

Bright, refreshing, and bursting with real fruit flavor, this strawberry mint lemonade is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel like a celebration. Many store-bought lemonades and flavored drinks sneak in added citric acid as a preservative or flavor enhancer, which can be a real problem for anyone who needs to avoid it — but this recipe keeps things completely clean. The tartness here comes entirely from freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the sweetness is handled by a simple honey syrup made right on the stovetop in just a couple of minutes. Fresh strawberries get blended smooth and strained into the pitcher, giving the drink a gorgeous rosy color and natural berry depth without any additives. A handful of mint leaves blended in with the strawberries adds a cool, herbal lift that makes every sip feel a little more special. You can easily tweak the balance of sweet and tart at the end to suit your taste, which means this one works for the whole table.
