Strawberry-Mint Lemonade

This is soooo tasty. No lies. I was bored one night and had a few lemons and limes that were rolling around in the fridge and annoying me so I decided to make lemonade.... Then I saw my strawberries were about to give up the ghost so I used those too. And am in love with mint lemonade and I never have am occasion to use my mint that I grow so it is turning into a bush. So it all worked out well if you ask me. :) don't get all ew-ie over the mint. It's soooo good. 

Ingredients:

3-4 lemons

4 limes

5-6 strawberries

Big handful of mint leaves. Approx. 1/2 cup loosely packed. 

1/4-1/2 Cup sugar

So lemonade is pretty straightforward... I just washed all the fruit really well... Really well with soapy water (except strawberries) because that stuff on the skin is terrible tasting. Alright then i juiced them all and then cut the skins up roughly and threw it all in the pitcher. Add  water, until its about 2/3 full. Next add your sugar in increments. You don't want it coming out too sweet. Or do you? Then the strawberries- I just mushed them and that took forever so I threw them into my food processor and made a purée. Throw it in the pitcher, then add your mint leaves (no chopping necessary) stir it up, add some ice and let it chill for at least a half hour. 

Boom. It would also be so tasty if you poured it into an ice cube tray and then once frozen pour a clear soda like sprite or ginger ale on it.. Just saying. It would turn slushy. ooh SO perfect for summer.
