Wash and hull the strawberries.

Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

For a smoother texture, strain the strawberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 2 cups of water.

Heat over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves.

Remove the syrup from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Strain the fresh lemon juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher.

Add the cooled simple syrup and strawberry puree to the pitcher. Stir until fully combined.

Refrigerate until chilled.

Before serving, add 2 1/2 cups of cold water and stir well.

Taste the Strawberry Lemonade Recipe and add additional water if desired.

Serve over ice and enjoy.
