I halved this and going by the previous review I increased the quantity of strawberries. It had just the right hint for me...it is after all supposed to be lemonade. The mint gave it a really refreshing kick too.

An interesting idea... the ice cubes were visually pleasing and the idea of freezing lemonade was cool, but unfortunately the taste of the strawberries and mint didn't come out until well after the ice cubes had melted.
