Strawberry Lemonade

The kids are loving that they get to try new recipes all throughout Ramadan this year. And I am so glad that even while I am fasting I can still make food that is seasoned relatively accurately. This week I decided to make some drinks and this strawberry lemonade has been on the top of my list, but I have been waiting for berry season to begin so that the strawberries are super sweet. 

Iftar was fun. The kids got to make their own strawberry lemonade drinks and added those paper umbrellas and ice for a fun evening activity after a long day of fasting.
