Strawberry Lemonade

| 0 comments

This is a tangy and sweet summer favorite! Experiment with the level of sweetness that you want. If you are trying to avoid refined sugar, try different sweeteners such as agave nectar, stevia, or honey. This lemonade is great with ice on a BBQ day or with a light summer lunch.
