Strawberry Lemon Cooler

How refreshing!  This drink is less sweet than a lemon or limeade.  The main flavor is strawberry, not lemon.  I used nothing but fresh ingredients.  Easy to make, and quite nice to look at in a glass with ice and a sprig or two of fresh mint.  Delicious!









4 cups strawberries (washed and cut in half)  
2 squeezed lemons
2/3 cup sugar
6 cups water, divided

• Blend strawberries, lemon, sugar and 2 cups of water until mixed
• Place in a strainer along with 4 cups of water
• Use a spatula to to mush down pulp to get all of the juice
• Place in a jug
• Serve cold, garnished with fresh mint or strawberries
