This might just be one of the most refreshing drinks on the
planet. And you can easily spike this with a little rum or vodka—just saying.
Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh strawberries
¾ cup sugar (or to
taste)
¼ cup fresh lime juice (from 2-3 limes)
6 cups water
Mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Coarsely chop the strawberries into a large bowl. Stir in
the sugar and lime juice and let stand at room temperature for at least one
hour, stirring occasionally. Process the berries until pureed (in batches works
best) and strain through a mesh strainer into a large bowl, stirring to make
sure all the liquid goes through and you are left with a relatively dry pulp. Take
your time, it will happen. Discard the solids in the strainer and pour the
juice into a very large pitcher. Add the water and stir. Chill for a few hours
until cold then pour into glasses and garnish with mint.
