Strawberry Lemonade

 

Simple, refreshing, delicious!  Nothing else needs to be said.

Ingredients (using organic fruit is a must):

2 - 2 1/2 cups fresh organic strawberries
1 organic lemon, zested and juiced*
2 Tbl - 1/3 cup raw, unfiltered honey (use the best)**
1 1/2 cups filtered water
2 - 3 cups ice

 

Wash and de-stem strawberries.  Wash lemon and with a zester remove the peel.  Chop out zest finely with knife.  Squeeze out all juice from lemon.  Place strawberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and 1/2 cup filtered water into blender.  Blend on high until smooth.  Add the remaining water and 1 cup of ice.  Blend until smooth.  Add rest of ice and blend until frothy.  Enjoy immediately.

* instead of juicing, after zesting, peel off the skin as you do on an orange, then pull apart the sections and add those directly to the blender.

** use the minimum amount of honey required for this drink to taste good to you.
