Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup Water (for the syrup)
  • 1 Cup Lemon Juice (about 4-6 lemons, freshly squeezed)
  • 1 Cup Strawberries (hulled and halved)
  • 4 Cups Water (to dilute)

Instructions
 

Make the simple syrup:

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 30 minutes.
    1 Cup Sugar, 1 Cup Water

Prepare the strawberries:

  • While the syrup is cooling, blend the strawberries with a little water to create a smooth puree. You can strain this through a fine mesh if you prefer a smoother texture.
    1 Cup Strawberries

Juice the lemons:

  • While the syrup is cooling, juice the lemons until you have 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds and excess pulp if you prefer a smoother lemonade.
    1 Cup Lemon Juice

Combine ingredients:

  • In a large pitcher, mix the cooled syrup, lemon juice, strawberry puree, and 4 cups of cold water. Stir well.
    4 Cups Water

Adjust to taste:

  • Taste your lemonade and if it’s too sweet, add more lemon juice. If it’s too tart, add more water or a bit more sugar, depending on your preference.
  • Add ice cubes to the pitcher or to individual glasses. Garnish with lemon slices, whole strawberries, and mint leaves if using. Serve cold.
