Strawberry Lemonade

So to keep in the tradition of lemonade I decided to give you one of my favorite recipes for drinks that I like in the summer but it's good year round if you have access to fresh strawberries. I usually like to buy simply lemonade but this is fun to make and easy to enjoy so I hope you like it & please tell me what you think. 

 

Ingredients


  • 1 pint small strawberries, hulled and halved
  • A few sprigs fresh mint
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
  • 6 cups spring or still mineral water
  • 12 lemons, juiced

Directions


Add the berries and mint to a glass pitcher and muddle with a wooden spoon.

In a large pot add the sugar, to taste, and 2/3 cup of water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Pour over the strawberries.

Stir in the lemon juice and fill the pitcher with the remaining water. Chill or pour over ice and serve
