Strawberry Lemonade

Nothing screams summer like fresh homemade lemonade.  I remember as a child that every summer when I was with my Grandma in Jamaica she would make fresh lemonade and would always have me help her squeeze the lemons.  I used to always think ” Wow she is really strong,” because so many lemons would be squeezed. 🙂

I wanted to use my classic lemonade recipe but spruce it up this time, so I decided on Strawberry Lemonade.  Now you may be saying to yourself that sounds like more work… but it really isn’t.  It is so easy and simple to make.  You can either use fresh strawberries or frozen whatever you have on hand will do the trick.

This refreshing strawberry lemonade will become a favorite among kids and adults.  The perfect beginning to summer vacation! 😉

Perfect for a hot summers day! 🙂
