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.

It was hot. It was a long weekend. I was thirsty. But all I had on hand was a mish mash of ingredients. We didn't even have and pop (soda for you US folk) in the house. Somehow I managed to pull these few ingredients together to make a pretty kick ass drink.
