Flavor #28 - Strawberry Lemonade

It is strawberry season here in New England so there is no better time to bust out a few different strawberry flavors. I had done a sour strawberry in the past that went over well and wanted to see if I could soften that up a bit. Both variations are great. It just depends on your taste.

One small carton of Strawberries 

Three Lemons

One cup of Simple Syrup

Take all the strawberries after cleaning and de-stemming and put them over a low heat with a tablespoon of sugar and a splash of water. After and straining the liquid you should have about two cups of strawberry juice. Transfer to a bowl and add the juice of three lemons and a cup of simple syrup. Chill the mix before putting it in the machine.

This was the new flavor at the family Christmas in July party over the weekend. traveling with six flavors on a two hour road trip up to Maine while trying to time the serving of the ice cream was a challenge.  When we arrived, everything was still pretty solid in the cooler. By the time it was time to eat, things had softened up a lot! However, no one really seemed to mind and all of the flavors were gone amongst the 20+ people pretty quickly. Hurricane Arthur moved through pretty quickly later that night and really didn't effect us at all.

Enjoy!
