Strawberry Lemonade


Balanced flavors

In the spring, a food editor's fancy turns to thoughts of strawberries. This recipe makes a thicker drink with a good balance between lemon and strawberry flavors. It kinda begs for a little rum or tequila (grin). You can turn this into a slush by freezing it in ice cube trays and processing the cubes in a blender or food processor. (If you can get it into the freezer before the family shows up -- the blender calls my kids like an electric can opener does a cat.)
