You guys have requested I do non-alcoholic drink recipes, so I'm launching a miniseries with beautiful, fruity, colorful drinks, none involving alcohol so kids and adults can both enjoy! This Strawberry Limeade has fresh cut strawberries, fresh lime juice, and a touch of mint for extra refreshing crispness. It has the perfect amount of sweetness with a punch of citrus. Great drink for summer!

Ingredients

Lime juice 1/2 Cup (8 tbs)
Sugar 1/3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
Water 1/3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
Sliced strawberries 1/2 Pound
Mint leaves 20

Directions

Making

To make the simple syrup, combine sugar and water in a saucepan.

Cook over medium high heat for 5-10 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is clear.

In a large mason jar or a pitcher, combine lime juice, simple syrup, strawberries, mint, and water.

Let sit in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Serve and enjoy!
