With all this hot weather, lemonade sure sounds good, doesn’t it? But how about switching it up a little and adding some strawberries for a nice big pitcher of Strawberry Lemonade? Lemon and strawberry are two great summer flavors, and you just can’t go wrong combining them!

It sure has been hot these past few weeks! I have some potted herbs growing outside and have been having to water them alot in this heat!

I tried it both ways and it’s good with both sorbet and sherbet!
