Strawberry Lemonade

Nothing can be more refreshing and relaxing on these afternoons of summer...well...lassi is equally refreshing, but today we are talking about lemonades. So lets talk about that.

Tart and sweet at the same time, lemonades are the first thing that comes to the mind when I am heading home and the tropical summer heat kind of kills me on the way. I call Lucy to make a glass of lemonade for me and I finish it one breath as soon as I reach home, even before I place my bag on the table.  I still love the classic simple lemonade but I like this one too. Strawberry lemonade is my way of tweaking the lemonade a little bit and yes...it works equally fine. And...god...you will love the tartness from the strawberries in it. It’s that good.
