My best friend and I made this for a baby shower we catered. It was delish. And SO pretty, also. I'm all about pretty looking food and drink. The recipe is originally from Emeril Lagasse. With a few tweaks, it is MAXIMIZED! Advaned Plan friendly, of course.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup pulverized Xylitol (find grind help it dissolve better)
- 1-2 tablespoons organic grated lemon peel
- 1 cup fresh organic lemon juice (don't skimp here, people. No bottled junk... juice 'em yourself!)
- 1 pint fresh organic strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 cups cold sparkling water or club soda
- Ice
- Mint sprigs
- Whole strawberries, garnish
 |
| Look! How beauitful would this lemonade table be at a summer party? Just perfect! |
Method
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water and Xylitol to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Add the lemon peel and lemon juice, stir, and remove from the heat.
- Let cool completely, the strain into a clean pitcher.
- In a blender, puree the pint of strawberries and add to the pitcher with the lemon juice. Stir well to combine and refrigerate until well chilled.
- Add the sparkling water and stir well.
- Pour over glasses filled with ice and serve, garnished with mint, strawberries and lemon slices.
