What the World Needs Now....

Dear T,

The world definitely needs more Strawberry Lemonade in it. This is a fact. It is a fact because Strawberry Lemonade is a God-gift to human kind. Tangy, sweet, fruity, sunny -besides, what other drink stands up and screams "SUMMER!"

What's that? I'm biased? Just because I like Strawberry Lemonade doesn't mean I flourish it's jeweled existence on earth :halo:

But anyways,

without more (though deserved) waxing eloquent on it's virtues, here's the good recipe I found.

Enjoy!

• 1 cup Sugar
• ½ cups Water
• 1 pint Strawberries
• 1 cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
• 4 cups Cold Water (to Dilute)
• Ice And Strawberries For Garnish

Add the sugar and water to a saucepan and heat it to dissolve the sugar – do this without stirring. Once the sugar appears dissolved, then swirl to mix. Remove from heat once sugar crystals are completely dissolved (if you’re not sure, then let it simmer for another minute). Pour into a large pitcher.

Pulse the strawberries in the blender, leaving chunks. Add the lemon juice and strawberries to the large pitcher with the simple syrup. Dilute with 4 cups of cold water (or to taste).

Let the whole mixture sit in the fridge for several hours or overnight. You can serve it immediately, but trust me, it tastes a lot better after the strawberries are saturated in the mixture and the flavors have gotten happy together.

To serve, garnish cups with one whole strawberry and ice. Yum!

You may want to double, triple or even quadruple the recipe if you’re having a party, because this stuff will be gone before you can blink.

Enjoy!
