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!
