Strawberry Lemonade
A refreshing and tasty summer drink made with fresh strawberries, lemons, and simple syrup. This is a fun way to enjoy seasonal strawberries while quenching the thirst when the sun is scorching with heat in the summers.

The fresh flavors of strawberry and lemon tastes so good and refreshing. Do try making the lemonade and stay cool in the summers.
