Strawberry Lemonade spritz

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 cups room temperature water
• 6 tsp. Botanica Turmeric Lemonade – Sweetened
• 4 lemons, juiced
• 12 fresh strawberries, washed and green tops removed*
• Ice cubes
• Sparkling water, optional
• Optional garnishes: more strawberries, fresh lemon slices, mint leaves

Method:

1. Start by placing the room temperature water, turmeric lemonade powder and fresh lemon juice in a blender. Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the ingredients are completely combined and the powder has dissolved.
2. In a bowl, mash the fresh strawberries with a fork until broken down with small clumps remaining.
3. To serve – evenly divide the strawberry mash and juice between 4 glasses and add 3-5 ice cubes to each glass. Then, pour a quarter of the lemonade into each glass leaving 1-2 inches of space to add sparkling water, if using.
4. Top up the glasses with sparkling water (optional) and add any desired garnishes. Use a straw to gently mix up the strawberry mash with the lemonade at the bottom half of the glass.
5. Sip, sip, and enjoy!

*Note: you can also use frozen strawberries for this recipe. Allow the frozen berries to defrost in a bowl on the counter until soft enough to mash with the back of a fork.
