Strawberry Limeade

Since Sonic hasn't opened any locations up here yet, and I've been craving one for nearly 2 years now... I decided to make my own. :)


What I Used:
1 Can of Limeade Concentrate (cost $1.10)
4 Cans of water (use the can from the Concentrate)
1 Jar of Strawberries (I used Polar brand, cost $1)
1 Lime, quartered (could use more if you want, but 1 works well enough. cost $0.33 each)
1 Cup of crush ice (use more of less as desired)
1 Pitcher
1 Whisk (i find a whisk works best)

1. Pour Limeade concentrate into pitcher.
2. Pour 4 cans of water into the Limeade
3. Stir vigorously with a whisk
4. Cut up strawberries, or blend lightly, so that they are in smaller pieces, but not pureed.
5. Pour strawberries into pitcher, mix well
6. Zest a lime directly over the pitcher.
7. Cut lime into quarters, squeeze the juice of each lime into the mixture, the drop the remainder of the limes right into the pitcher.
8. Stir vigorously again
9. Carefully pour in about a cup of crushed ice. (if you just plop it in, it will splash everywhere!)
10. Stir vigorously yet again.
11. Enjoy this nummy summery treat, right in your own home!

Trust me, everyone will be lining up for some!! :)
