Notes
Tips
- You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using fresh, be sure to de-stem them. If you are using frozen, you can thaw in the fridge for 24 hours and drain off excess liquid and then they are ready to use.
- I use the Santa Cruz Organic Lime Juice to save time. But, you can also juice fresh limes too.
- If you want to make this into strawberry lemonade, you can replace the lime juice with lemon juice.
- You can make this recipe into popsicles simply by pouring the juice into popsicle molds, freezer overnight.
- Make a frozen strawberry limeade slushy by blending with ice and serving chilled.
