You're not going to drink that all by yourself are you? I could get a glass... Made for ZWT#8 AU/NZ.

Very tasty, a lot like strawberry lemonade. Made as directed but next time would use less sugar.

I made a big pitcher of this lovely treat yesterday afternoon with Splenda just for me (nobody else around here drinks lemonade!) and it's already half gone. Delicious flavors that seem meant for each other. Refreshing, tangy and sweet. What more could you ask for.

I really enjoy homemade Lemonades Nancy and this one is dynamite. Full of flavor and depth. What a beautiful drink, pretty and full of zest. Its tart, tangy and wonderful. The addition of the mint is a lovely surprise. Really refreshing and delicious. Thank you so much for sharing another winner. Made for Fall Pac/12
