This year summer is still not upon us but we are enjoying all kinds of coolers. This strawberry flavored lemonade caught my eye when I saw the post on my facebook profile. Check it out for Day 2 Week 2 of BM #29 under the 'Red' color scheme!!

Ingredients - 
Strawberries hulled and chopped 10 to 12 
Sugar 1/2 - 3/4 cup
Water 1/2 - 3/4 cup
Lemon 1 large or to taste
Soda or chilled water to make the lemonade

Method Of Preparation -

In a pan boil water and sugar until the sugar dissolves and a sticky syrup is obtained. Remove from fire and let it cool to room temperature.

Puree the strawberries without adding water. Strain if desired. (I made a fine puree so didn't strain.)

Mix the strawberry puree with the cooled sugar syrup. Squeeze in the required lemon juice and refrigerate.

When ready to consume the lemonade, pour about 1/4 cup of  the concentrate and about a cup of water/soda and enjoy it with a few cubes of ice on a hot summer day!!
