Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups strawberries washed, hulled & quartered
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup lemon juice fresh
- 4 cups water cold
Instructions
- In a saucepan, add in the strawberries and granulated sugar. Place over medium heat and let it heat for about 13 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and a bright red syrup has formed. The strawberries will become pale and broke down.
- Strain out the strawberries and any pulp using a fine mesh strainer. Pour the syrup into a pitcher.
- Add in 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. It took 5 large lemons to equal a cup of lemon juice for me.
- Add 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher. Stir to combine.
- Refrigerate until chilled. Serve!

Notes
- You can adjust the sugar to your taste. If you like it more tart, feel free to leave out sugar.
