Sweet Melissa Sundays – Strawberry Lemonade
This is going to be a short post because well, sometimes it’s best to keep things simple. This week’s Sweet Melissa Sundays pick was brought to us by Jessica of My Baking Heart and what a great pick is was.
Take simple syrup and add water, lemon juice, an easy strawberry sauce (made by blending strawberries with a touch of sugar, lemon juice and water) and voila! – strawberry lemonade is born. I used frozen since strawberries are not in season right now and hella expensive in NYC. And if you don’t like your juice too sweet, just lessen the amount of sugar like I did.
It’s sweet, tart and oh so refreshing – just the drink you need right now to get you through the last few weeks of this dreaded winter. This drink will help me get through the rest of the winter and rejoice throughout the summer.
For the recipe, make sure to visit Jessica’s blog or pick up a copy of The Sweet Melissa Baking Book.

I'm enjoying another glass of my lemonade right now as I read your post! I love sweet things so I loved this, but I definitely think it would still be good with less sugar. Yours looks terrific!

It turned out to be a delicious drink but for me it is funny. I just joined Sweet Melissa BAKING group and here I am making a drink. Sigh.

Looks tasty… I like that you made it with frozen strawberries! I might have to give it a try to brighten up the dull, wintery weather!
