Preparation
  1. In your blender, combine the hulled strawberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Blend until smooth.

  3. In a separate pitcher, mix the sugar with 1 cup of water, stirring until it’s fully dissolved.
  4. Pour the strawberry-lemon blend into the pitcher and stir in the remaining 3 cups of cold water.
  5. Give it a taste! If you want it sweeter, feel free to add more sugar according to your liking.
  6. Serve over ice, garnished with lemon slices and sprigs of fresh mint if desired.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Add fresh ice as needed before serving. For a fun twist, consider adding a splash of soda water for a fizzy treat.
