Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Base
- 2 cups water
Fruits
- 1 cup frozen dragon fruit
- 1/2 cup chopped mango
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Zest from 2 lemons
Sweeteners and Seasoning
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/8 tsp kosher salt or Celtic sea salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add water, frozen dragon fruit, chopped mango, lemon juice, lemon zest, kosher salt, and honey (added last to prevent sticking) into a high-powered blender.
- Blend the Mixture: Start blending on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium-high and blend for an additional 1 minute and 30 seconds until the lemonade becomes frothy and well combined.
- Strain the Lemonade: Pour the blended lemonade through a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher or bowl with a spout. Squeeze or press to extract all liquid, separating pulp and seeds from the juice.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the strained lemonade into a glass bottle or jar and chill it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until cold. Alternatively, serve immediately over ice for a refreshing drink.
Notes
- For best flavor and texture, use a high-powered blender to achieve a smooth, frothy consistency.
- You may substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan version.
- The salt enhances the sweetness and balances the tartness of the lemonade.
- Chilling the lemonade improves the taste and refreshment, but serving over ice works well for immediate consumption.
- Straining is optional if you prefer a thicker texture with pulp.
