Water, sugar, strawberries and lime juice are all you need to make a refreshing summer drink. It only takes 20 minutes to make and serves enough for a crowd.
Ingredients:
4-1/2 cups water, divided
2/3 cup sugar
1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine 3 cups water and sugar. Cook, over medium heat, until sugar is dissolved, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Place strawberries, remaining 1-1/4 cups water and fresh lime juice in a blender; cover and process until liquified. Strain through a fine mesh sieve; discard seeds.
