- 1/2-1 cup sugar, to taste
- Juice of one large lemon
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 cup sugar

Directions
1. Make the Strawberry Syrup:
Combine strawberries and water in a pot with a tight fitting lid.
Simmer for 1 hour, until fruit breaks down. Do not let syrup boil over.
Add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, tasting in between for desired sweetness. Substitute honey or agave syrup for a paleo diet.
Stir to combine sugar completely.
Continue to simmer until fruit is completely soft and a thick syrup surrounds it.
Carefully use a hand blender to liquify berries. Caution- syrup will be HOT!
If syrup is too liquid after blending, add a little water. Too runny, let it simmer longer to reduce.
Pour into jar and let cool.
Refrigerate for up to one week.

fill pitcher or jar with water

pour lemon-limeade over ice until half full
stir vigorously
