Strawberry Lemonade

Submitted by Chef #1189822

"I made this reciepe up because of a medical need to drink lemon juice and this is the best way to get it. I love this lemonade, it makes me thinking of nice hot summers by the beach. It is super simple to make and if you have a hand juicer it goes that much faster. ***P.S. When I make this for parties, I make special ice cubes. I will fill up the ice tray and then place a piece of strawberry and a piece of mint in each ice cube section. Once it's frozen I add the ice to the serving pitcher. It's beautiful and I get a lot of comments on it.***"
