Are you hot where you live? Because I'm sweltering, chile. Especially since it just hit July, the dog-days of summer; one hundred degree weather is not the business!
Today's recipe is a simple, quintessential summer drink: pink, strawberry lemonade! Fresh, refreshing, strawberry lemonade that you will not be able to put down until you finish the whole glass, honey!
No, I'm not joking; you will really say, "ahhhh." after finishing the whole glass. It will quench the thirst you didn't even know you had. It's soul-quenching.
The flavor from the Strawberry syrup(which is a separate recipe that can be used for anything, from pancakes to ice cream, to strawberry milk!) will surprise you, it will taste just like you drank a liquefied strawberry in your lemonade. No chemical taste, no throat-burning, too-acidic lemonade flavor, no pieces of strawberry pulp clogging your straws, nothing but what strawberry lemonade is supposed to taste like: a refreshing, heat-beating glass of sweet yet slightly tart of pure summer.
Not to mention the fact this can be a batch for the kiddies and a separate batch can be mixed with rum or some lemon vodka for the adults at the party.
Because it's not summer without a party, amiright?
