Strawberry Lemon Limeade

INGREDIENTS

·         1 cup sugar (can reduce to 3/4 cup)

·         1 cup water (for the simple syrup)

·         4 Lemons

·         3 Limes

·         ½ Cup Strawberries, Chopped

·         3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute)

Instructions

Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.

While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from lemons and limes. 

Add the lemon juice, lime juice, strawberries and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.

Serve with ice, sliced lemons.

Yield: Serves 6.
