2 teaspoons Truvia (or any other sweetener) or more to taste
4 lemons
Instructions
Muddle your mint leaves for a few minutes in the bottom of a pitcher using a wooden spoon to release their oils
Add the 1.5 liters of water
Squeeze in the juice of 4 lemons
Half all the strawberries and place them in a blender with about 1/2 cup of the lemonade
Blend until the strawberries are completely pureed
Add the puree into the lemonade
Add your sweetener to taste (I added 2 teaspoons)
For this next step, you can use a baking sheet or a baking dish. If you use a baking dish you might need more than one. I used one baking sheet and it was a bit of a challenge to get into the freezer without spilling. If you want to avoid this, you could split the lemonade between two baking sheets.
Strain the lemonade using a sieve directly into your baking sheet/dish
Place in the freezer until the lemonade is frozen through, several hours or over night
Using a fork, scrape against the frozen lemonade to form small shards of ice and spoon into cups or bowls
*The “total time” of this recipe does not include the time it takes to freeze, because it will be different for each person depending on how many baking sheets/dishes you use*
