If you are lucky enough to find a nice, big, sweet crop of reasonably-priced fresh strawberries at the farmers' market, buy a whole flat of them! Then, when you get home, freeze at least half of them and you will have the makings for these fantastic summer thirst-quenchers.

To freeze strawberries, simply hull them and wipe them clean with a damp paper towel. Lightly spray a big tray with nonstick spray, and spread the clean berries on the tray. Freeze for about 30 minutes, or until the strawberries are quite solid. Transfer the frozen berries to a heavy zip-style plastic bag, and use as needed. This method allows them to freeze separately, rather than in one big clump.
