Strawberry lemonade recipe with real organic strawberries, real lemons, honey, and a little herbal touch.
This is a homemade strawberry lemonade recipe with real lemons, organic strawberries, and honey.
But I add a little extra step and flavor the water with fresh herbs.
Rosemary, mint, and basil are strawberries’ best friends, at least for Italian palates. For this natural strawberry lemonade, I chose rosemary. But you can substitute it and make a mint or basil strawberry lemonade.
In my dreams, the perfect picnic is a little in between “Pretty Woman” and “Little Women”: strawberries & champagne in a rustic backyard with linen & lace candid napkins and the perfect wicker picnic basket. Perfection…. And not so complicated… I could do it anytime! … And I will, but until that day, I’m filing recipes that suit this girly pinkish dreamy day.
