It's been close to a hundred degrees all week. All I want to do in the afternoon is sleep. It's that hot.
So this afternoon I decided to dispel the heat a bit with some limeade. And then when I started rooting around in the refrigerator (generally a sea of Rubbermaid containers) I discovered 5 strawberries. Eureka!
This is seriously, seriously, the best.stuff.ever.
Strawberry Limeade
5 limes
5 strawberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
club soda
Juice fruit. Set aside. Make simple syrup. To make simple syrup, boil one cup of water with one cup of sugar in it. Boil about 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Pour the syrup into the juice. Get (short) glasses and put ice in them. Pour about 3/4 inch of juice/simple syrup mixture in the bottom of each one and then fill with club soda. Serve immediately.
