The Ultimate Strawberry Lemonade

Cut the lemons into quarters. Squeeze the lemons into a blender and add the rest of the lemon, rind and all. Pour in the water and sugar. Add the strawberries. Pulse until everything starts to come together and the rind is starting to be processed.

Remove the blade (or place the entire contents of the blender into a microwavable pitcher) and microwave for 2 minutes. You can do all of this on the stovetop if you’d prefer, but the microwave is easy and quick.

Refrigerate for about 1 hour, then strain it into glasses that you’ve loaded with ice. Enjoy!

Recipe makes 2 pint-glass servings with ice.
