Directions
Tos the water, sugar, lime juice, and strawberry jam into a blender. Blend everything on high for about 30 seconds until it’s smooth and well mixed. Then, add some ice cubes to the blender and give it another good blend for about 30 seconds or until the ice is crushed and the drink is nice and frosty. Pour it into glasses and enjoy!

Storage Tips
Store the jam in sterilized jars and keep them in the refrigerator once opened. Properly sealed, the jam can last several weeks. For longer storage, consider freezing small portions in airtight containers.
