It has been very hot couple of weeks full of events… end of school, birthday parties, friends and family visiting, going to the Brighton beach. I haven’t been cooking much lately but I will be posting shortly some yummy cookies we have made for teachers and bead box birthday cake I made for my daughter’s 9th birthday. In meantime enjoy this quick & easy homemade lemonade I’ve made with my girls.

- lots of ice cubes
- 3 lemons (juiced)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1 cup of golden caster sugar
- 300 – 400 g of strawberries (hulled and quartered)
- handful / about 10 of fresh mint leaves (chopped)
- cold water
EQUIPMENT
- 2 l jug
- lemon juicer
METHOD
- On the bottom of the jug stir lemon and lime juice with sugar and mint leaves until all sugar is dissolved.

NOTES
Lemonade taste even better after couple of hours in the fridge.
Just add more ice if the lemonade is too strong or too sweet.
