Instructions
Make the Simple Syrup
Combine sugar and half cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar fully dissolves, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before using.
Blend the Strawberries
Place hulled strawberries into a blender and puree until completely smooth. For a clearer lemonade, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.
Mix the Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the strawberry puree, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and cold water. Stir everything together until well combined and taste for sweetness.
Serve Over Ice
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the strawberry lemonade over the top. Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice and a lemon wheel on the rim for a beautiful presentation.
