Happy Friday!

I hope you all know what this weekend is…Mother’s Day! I thought I’d post a fun little recipe you kids can make to honor your mothers.  This is one of the prettiest summer drinks that is perfect for your momma…and everyone, actually. You just need a few ingredients and a blender. Here it is:

Strawberry Lemon Crush

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (250 ml) hulled strawberries (that means the green top is removed)
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) granulated sugar (white)
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) lemon juice
• 1 and 1/2 cups (375 ml) cold water
• Ice cubes
• 2 unhulled strawberries or mint sprigs for garnish (that means to make it look pretty at the end)

Method:

• Place hulled strawberries in a blender
• In a bowl, combine sugar, lemon juice and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the water, stirring until the sugar is dissolved
• Add to the blended berries, slowly puree and add the remaining water until mixture is smooth
• Serve over ice cubes in a pretty glass and garnish with unhulled strawberries or mint sprigs
