Strawberry Lemonade

Some days lately it’s been really warm here. Like summer warm. Even when it was March! Which is fine with me. I can’t wait until summer. I’ve been thinking about it everyday since November. 🙂

So the last really warm day we had I decided that I would pretend it was summer and make a batch of strawberry lemonade. I should have made a few batches because it was gone that night. So good.

You need to boil about 2 cups of water. Then add 1 cup sugar. Lower the heat and let simmer until sugar disolves. Add a little bit of lemon peel and squeeze about 1 cup of lemon juice. Stir and remove from the heat. I pour mine into a big bowl.

Add a pint of hulled and halved strawberries to the simple syrup mixture. Stir and let it cool. Then toss in the blender. Add another 2 cups or so of water/club soda/sparkling water (it depends on how strong you like your lemonade!) and put in the refridgerator to chill. (Ours didn’t have time to chill – it just got sucked down!)
Serve over ice (and with your rim lined with sugar – I know right!?)
Yum. So good!
What reminds you of summer?
And for your pinning pleasure 🙂
