Healthy Strawberry Lemonade

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups water 
• 1/4 cup healthy (liquid honey is best) or other vegan substitute
• juice of 7 lemons (each lemon produces about 2 tablespoons of juice)
• 4 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
• 1-2 cups ice (optional)
• 3-4 cups sparkling water (less if using ice)
• lemon slices, fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions: 

Add the water, honey, lemon juice, strawberries and ice (if using) to the blender.

Blend on high speed until frothy and smooth

Strain the mixture to remove the seeds and add the mixture to a large jug.

Add the sparkling water and stir well to combine (add only 1-2 cups of sparkling water if you've added ice to the lemonade mixture).

Serve in mason jars or pretty glasses with a lemon slice on the rim and fresh strawberries, and additional ice if desired.
