Fresh Strawberry and Chamomile Lemonade

This is a delicious and refreshing beverage with an unusual yet familiar taste. Have the lemonade for a day at the beach with the kids and make extra strawberry lemon puree to use for a unique evening cocktail!

1 pound strawberries
2 cup granulated sugar
2 sachets Chamomile tea
¾ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup Agave nectar
generous pinch of salt
4 cups sparkling water

Wash strawberries, remove stems and cut in half. Place in a small saucepan and add sugar. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and then add tea bags. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until strawberries begin to breakdown. The mixture should cook down to yield a heaping 1 cup. Cool to room temperature and remove tea bags. Place cooked strawberries, lemon juice, salt and agave nectar in a blender. Combine with sparkling water and mix. Strain, chill and serve with ice!
