Notes

One: Freckled Lemonade With Minute Maid

Prepare the strawberry puree. Then, mix it with 6 cups of prepared Minute Maid lemonade (or use your favorite brand).

Two: Without A Blender

Dice the strawberries and put them into a pot with 2 cups of water and 1/3 cup of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and then turn the heat down and simmer until the strawberries are softened. Stir the mixture often with a wooden spoon and use the spoon to mash the strawberries. Remove from heat and pour the mixture through a strainer using the spoon to mash it even more. Then, allow it to cool before preparing the rest of the recipe.

Three: Storage

Store in a covered pitcher in the fridge for 3-4 days.
