A summertime favorite!

The key to this recipe is to TASTE it and adjust it to your preferences.

Ingredients:
5-6 lemons (use more for a stronger/sharper taste)
1 cup strawberries (preferably organic)
Pure water (preferably distilled)
Your preferred sweetener(s) of choice - I am using agave nectar and stevia

Instructions:
If you need to dissolve your sweetener in warm water, then heat up 2 cups of water, stir in your sweetener, and then let the water cool back to room temperature.

Squeeze the lemons, pour the juice (a little pulp is fine) into about 8 cups water. Pour 2 cups of this liquid into your blender. Add your strawberries (remove stems) and blend. Strain this mixture back in with the main liquid (you will mainly be removing the seeds). Stir, and sweeten to taste, if needed.

You may serve it immediately, or chill.
Serve with a crushed mint leaf, if desired!

This will keep a day or so in the refrigerator (if it isn't all consumed before then!)
It's a pretty pink color - kids will like it. It's a healthy alternative to popular junk beverages.
