Strawberry Lemonade

Hello, my lovely friends!

 

          The other day we were out and about and made a stop at Arby’s drive-thru to bring something home to eat. When we drove up I saw they had a strawberry lemonade and thought how summer of a drink is that? Granted it probably has tons of sugar in it, but still I wanted to try it. It was yummy, but I knew I could make one for us without all the sugar.

 

Strawberry Lemonade

What you need

Lemons – 1 to 1 ½ cups of squeezed lemons

Splenda – 1 cup

Water – 8 to 10 cups

Strawberries – Handful of two crush them

 

Directions

1. In a measuring cup I squeezed a little over a cup of lemon juice. I don’t mind a little bit of a pucker with my lemonade, adjust to how much you like. (Don’t throw away the lemon wedges, put them in a Ziploc bag and keep them in the freezer) Weekly throw one down the drain and turn on the garbage disposal to keep the sink smelling fresh).

 

2. Add your lemon juice to a pitcher. Then add the Splenda and then the water. Mix that all together and you have some lemonade. Pour over ice and enjoy.

 

3. Take your few strawberries and add them to the cup that you will be drinking your lemonade out of. Cut up the strawberries into small pieces and add them to your glass. And crush them a bit. Add some ice and your lemonade and there you have a strawberry lemonade that is just a little bit fancy and so yummy!

 

          You could also change it up and add different berries in there. I think pineapple, peaches, mango, or cherries could work too. If you can’t do the lemons find a sugar- free lemonade mix from Crystal Light or Country Time now has a sugar-free version. Maybe add some seltzer water and have a fizzy lemonade drink.

 

Wish you all good fortune this day!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I wish you a good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are.

Until next time… Adios!
