Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup of honey (or 1 cup of sugar) with 1 cup of water.
Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
If using honey, do not bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Wash the strawberries and remove the stems.
Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters.
Cut the limes in half and squeeze the juice into a measuring cup, removing any seeds.
In a blender, combine the cut strawberries, lime juice, and 4 cups of cold water.
Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a pitcher with ice.
Stir in 1 cup of water and all of the cooled simple syrup.
Serve immediately over ice or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

Honey is sweeter than sugar which is why the ingredients call for only ¾ cup of honey for the simple syrup.
If you prefer a less sweet drink, you can use ½ cup of honey or ¾ cup of sugar to make the simple syrup.
For a sweeter drink, make more simple syrup and add it to the mixture 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired sweetness.
