What a pleasure!

Homemade strawberry lemonade! Refreshing on hot days, needless to say. 




What you need:

3/4 cup sugar
2 large lemons, microwaved for 30 seconds
2 cups water
1 cup of frozen strawberries, microwaved for 1 minute (you could use fresh, but I think the frozen works better here)

What to do:

In a blender squeeze the lemons and add the rest of the lemon, rind and all.  Pour in the water and sugar.  Add the strawberries.  Pulse until everything starts to come together and the rind is starting to be processed.  Remove the blade (or place the entire contents of the blender into a microwavable pitcher) and microwave for another 2 minutes.  You can do all of this on stove top if you’d prefer, but the microwave is easy and quick.  Refrigerate for about 1 hour, then strain into glasses loaded with ice.  Enjoy!
