Strawberry Lemonade

Strawberries are finally in season. I love this time of year! It has been hot lately and nothing goes better with a hot day then a tall cold glass of lemonade. Add some strawberries to the mix and yum yum yum. When I make this again I will cut back on the amount of sugar. It was too sweet for my liking.

Pepper Added by Joey - None. Although word around the campfire is that strawberries and pepper go well together.
