Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

1 cup granulated sugar

4 cups cold water

Ice cubes

Lemon slices and strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries and 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth.

    Strain the strawberry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible.

      Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and remaining 3 cups of cold water to the pitcher with the strawberry juice.

        Stir in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar.

          Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

            Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices and whole strawberries if desired.
