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:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. Add ice cubes to the pitcher or to individual glasses. Garnish with lemon slices, whole strawberries, and mint leaves if using. Serve cold.
