Notes

  • Kylee's Notes  
  • Maple syrup, honey, and agave syrup are all great alternatives to white sugar. You will use much less - it's not a cup for cup exchange if you are using liquid sweeteners.
  • Switch up the ratios of lemons, strawberries, and water to get your perfect blend.
  • Make this and FREEZE it - always be ready for some hydration!
  • You can do this with frozen strawberries if you have a hankering during the offseason for strawberries - but always, ALWAYS use fresh lemon juice. Frozen berries are often less sweet than fresh, so make sure you test it and adjust the sugar if needed.
  • Add vodka and make it a super refreshing adult beverage, add salt and it's a sports drink!
