Strawberry Lemonade

Take a cup’s worth of sliced strawberries. Using either an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the strawberries until they’re almost completely smooth. Set aside.

Place your sugar and water mixture in a small sauce pan and heat over medium heat until boiling. Let boil until the sugar has completely dissolved. Take off the heat and set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, add your pureed strawberries, the sugar syrup, and the lemon juice. Add the five cups of water.

In the pitcher you’re serving the lemonade from, add the rest of your sliced strawberries and sliced lemons. Place a strainer over the top. Slowly add the mixture from the bowl to your pitcher, getting rid of all the strawberry particles.

Taste test. If anything else is needed (e.g. more lemon juice, more water, etc.) add it, stirring with a wooden spoon. Refrigerate until you’re ready to drink. If serving immediately, add a few ice cubes. Enjoy!
