Every so often you indeed need a break to sit down and positively enjoy a delicate cup of Matcha Green Tea Latte.

As you can see, this incredible recipe is super easy and you do not even require any particular equipment.

Although if you have them fancy latte machine, then you may make your own froth using it.

Hand frother is quite inexpensive. You can get pretty much in any local store from Amazon to the world market.

I just love taking off work to disconnect from the social world. Read an excellent book and heartily enjoy a decent cup of fragrant coffee.

Ha! Perhaps a lovely cup tea or in this case matcha latte. It is one of my favorite things.

I genuinely love it cold or hot, iced, in smoothies or as creamy as this latte. It is an absolutely perfect beverage at any time of the year.

Last year, after sharing a photo of this beautiful strawberry-infused lemonade on social media, so many of you asked for the recipe. Somehow, I never got around to posting it… until now! Better late than never, right?

With summer break officially here and family vacation plans already in full swing (big road trip—yay!! 🚗💨), it feels like the perfect time to finally share it. Whether your summer just started or you’re soaking up those early sunny days, this refreshing drink will help you stay cool and hydrated.

Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Lemonade:

Naturally Sweetened: You can control the sugar level and even use honey or agave if you prefer.

Easy to Customize: Mix in other berries, fresh mint, lime slices, or tropical fruits like mango or pineapple for a fun twist!

Perfect for Any Occasion: Serve it at BBQs, pool parties, picnics, or just for a refreshing treat at home.

Quick Tips for the Best Homemade Lemonade:

Use Fresh Lemons: Fresh-squeezed lemon juice gives the best, brightest flavor. Bottled juice just doesn’t compare.

Strain for Smoothness: If you don’t love pulp, simply strain the lemonade before serving for a smoother drink.

Chill Before Serving: Let the lemonade chill in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors have time to blend together perfectly.

Add Sparkle: Feeling fancy? Top it off with sparkling water for a bubbly, refreshing twist!

How to Customize Your Strawberry Lemonade:

• Swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
• Add a handful of fresh mint leaves for a cool, herby vibe.
• Toss in some tropical fruits like mango or passion fruit for a fun tropical lemonade.
• Want a little kick? Add a splash of ginger ale or even a touch of jalapeño for a spicy surprise!

Homemade Strawberry Infused Lemonade

Print

Learn how to make the best Homemade Strawberry Infused Lemonade with simple ingredients! A fresh, fruity drink perfect for hot summer days.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 ripe lemons, juiced (yields about ¾ cup lemon juice total)
• 10 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 5 cups cold water
• Ice cubes, for serving
• 3 oz strawberry syrup (about 6 tablespoons)
• Sweetener to taste (sugar, honey, agave, or your preferred sweetener)

Instructions

Prepare the strawberries:

1. Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries.
2. Set aside a few slices for garnish if desired.

Juice the lemons:

1. Roll the lemons on the counter to soften them, then cut and squeeze them to get about ¾ cup of fresh lemon juice.
2. Strain if you prefer no pulp.

Mix the base:

1. In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, strawberry syrup, and sweetener. Stir until the sweetener dissolves.

Add strawberries and water:

1. Stir in the sliced strawberries and pour in 5 cups of cold water.
2. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Taste and adjust:

1. Taste your lemonade — add more sweetener if you like it sweeter, or a little extra water if you want it lighter.

Chill:

1. Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.

Serve:

1. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour over the strawberry infused lemonade, and garnish with extra strawberry slices or lemon wheels if desired.

Notes

• 3 lemons usually give about ¾ cup of lemon juice, which is perfect for around 5–6 cups of finished lemonade.
• 5 cups of water plus ice stretches the lemonade for 6 medium glasses (around 8 oz each).
• 10 strawberries add a fresh fruit infusion without overpowering the lemonade.
• 3 oz of strawberry syrup adds a boost of berry sweetness and color, but you can adjust it slightly if you want it stronger or lighter.

• Sweetener is flexible — you may want about 2–3 tablespoons of sugar or honey depending on how sweet you like it.
  

Tip:

If you want it extra fruity, you could blend the strawberries into a puree instead of leaving them whole, and strain it into the lemonade for a smoother texture.

Are the Fall colors already in your area?
I am certainly digging the weather. No more humidity! One more point for Autumn. Haleluha!!!

Today is also my 5th year anniversary as a food blogger. Woo-Hoo! I have had ups and downs, but one thing that I love about this industry is that you meet incredibly talented people, you learn so much not only about blogging in general, but about yourself, too.

The thing is, food blogging takes so much time, and I have seen so many people quit because there is a pressure that starts to build. I think with any job you get that pressure. It gets really hard, especially if you have a family and not enough passion or support to continue.

Personally, I found something completely new to me 5 years ago and started to build Sandra’s Easy Cooking from ground zero. Didn’t know anything, or nobody in this industry.

I didn’t even read food blogs. A little by little my love for food photography, recipe developing and writing woke up, with that, my passion too.

I wish it was just those 3 that we need to do, but if you are not a blogger, you have no idea the amount of work that we put into each post or to maintain one blog on a daily bases; from coding, editing, writing, photography, videography, fixing things, building, newsletters, social media, and so much more.

Seriously, what we do, it’s a very serious business. Thank you all for all your support, I truly appreciate your visits, emails, fan emails, comments, etc. Without you, this blog wouldn’t be alive.

Let’s talk about this Pumpkin Spice Latte. I know, it might be overrated, well, it is a lot overrated. Furthermore, you people wait for September to come just so Starbucks could start selling them.

My daughter is one of those people, and she is like 12. Let me just tell ya, those pumpkin lattes are not cheap, and she is asking for them every single day. Hell to the NO!

So, Anna and I started to experiment. We made several mixtures and we loved this one the most. She drinks this in the morning and afternoon, without a coffee of course, although she is my mini-me, after all, and actually likes the taste of coffee.

On the other hand, I add as my sweetener to my morning coffee. It’s just delicious, warm and it smells amazingly comforting, especially if you wake up early and just want to be wrapped in a blanket, and enjoy your morning with the morning show. Ok!

Let’s get down to the business.

Author Sandra | Sandra’s Easy Cooking

Ingredients

Pumpkin spice SYRUP PUREE

• 1 can or 15 OZ 100% Pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. Pure Vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. Pumpkin pie spice
• 1½ cup Water
• 1½ tbsp. Sugar

LATTE

• 1-2 tbsp. Pumpkin spice SYRUP/PUREE
• 1 cup frothed milk
• 2 shots of espresso
• Whipped cream

Garnish:

• Pumpkin Pie Spice

Instructions

Pumpkin spice SYRUP PUREE

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, add 1 can of 100% Pure pumpkin puree. Stir it for a couple of minutes, then add 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 tbsp. of pure Vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp. Pumpkin pie spice. Slightly stir it to combine. Then add 1 1/2 cup/s of water.
2. Stir, cover and lower the heat to simmer. After 10 minutes of simmering, add 2 tbsp. of sugar.
3. Mix it, cover and continue simmering for 15 more minutes. Strain the mixture through the fine strainer.
4. I used the metal whisk (it was much easier for me). Do this until the thicker part is left in the strainer.
5. Mix it, and let it cool down before pouring it into a container or a jar. I keep it in the fridge.

LATTE

1. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Syrup/Sauce.

   Froth the milk, then add two shots of espresso, or use any other coffee. Mix it well together with the syrup, to combine, and add whipped cream. Also, add a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
   

LATTE SECOND VERSION

1. In a pot, add milk. Let it simmer on a low temperature until hot, about 3-5 minutes, but do not let it boil. With a hand frother, froth milk until the foam is developed.

2. Add frothed milk to pumpkin spice syrup/sauce, and coffee, stir and add whipped cream and/or sweetener as desired.

LATTE THIRD VERSION

1. In a microwave-safe cup, add syrup/sauce, milk (and coffee, if desired). Microwave for approximately a minute and twenty seconds, to a minute and a half.

   Stir, add additional sweetener if desired, and enjoy!
   

Recipe Notes

• You can add additional sweetener to taste.
• Skip coffee for a KID friendly latte Keep it in the fridge, in an airtight container or a lidded jar for up to a 4 week. For kids just mix it with warm milk.
• It tastes fantastic, even without coffee. I used instant coffee like Folgers, espresso, and regular coffee maker coffee.
• Please, adjust to your own taste. Personally, I like strong coffee, but this latte I like with two shots of espresso. You can also add this to heat safe bottle, such as thermal and shake it to make it more bubbly or frothy.
