Ingredients
2CLemon Juice5-8 Large Lemons
2CSugar
4 1/2 C Water
2CStrawberries
Instructions
First, you are going to make the simple syrup. Take 3 C of water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add in the sugar and stir until dissolved and clear. Remove from the burner and set aside to cool. Next, juice your lemons until you have 2 C of lemon juice. You can strain your lemon juice but you don't have to. I strained mine because the kids do not like the pulp or seeds.Combine the simple syrup and lemon juice, stir well. Cut off the stems of the strawberries and place them in the blender. Add 1 C of water and blend until smooth. If your kids do not like seeds you'll want to strain this mixture as well to remove the small strawberry seeds. Combine the strawberries with the lemonade and stir well. Place in the fridge and chill. It'll take a few hours for the strawberry lemonade to chill because of the simple syrup. Serve over ice with some strawberry and lemon garnishes. You can even add a little fresh mint.
