Strawberry Lemonade

Perfect Summer Vibes!
This is a refreshing drink that is extremely easy to make. If you normally make your lemonade using lemon concentrate, try using fresh lemons and adding some fresh or frozen fruit. In this recipe, I use fresh strawberries. Feel free to play around with the fruit variations. Have fun with it!
In this recipe, I made a simple syrup by heating equal parts sugar and equal parts water until the sugar dissolved. You do not have to do this. You can simply add your sugar to your liquid and mix. The problem with this though, if you are using cold water, it takes longer to dissolve the sugar completely.
