Strawberry Lemonade


This is a refreshing lemonade to make and serve on hot summer days.  It has a strong strawberry flavor and a more subtle lemonade flavor.  Perfect to make when strawberries are fresh in season.  After I make this I strain it thru a fine sieve strainer to get out all the seeds and pulp. Delicious!
