Ultimate Strawberry Lemonade Drink (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled
02 - 4-5 medium lemons, juiced (about 1 cup)
03 - 3/4 cup sugar (or adjust to taste, honey can be used as an alternative)
04 - 4 cups cold water
05 - Ice cubes, for serving
06 - Optional fresh mint leaves, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Blend the strawberries in a blender until smooth. If preferred, strain the puree using a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds.
02 - Squeeze fresh lemons to extract about 1 cup of juice. Rolling the lemons on the counter before cutting can help release more juice.
03 - Pour the strawberry puree, lemon juice, and sugar into a pitcher. Stir well until the sugar dissolves. Add cold water and mix thoroughly.
04 - Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour in the strawberry lemonade, and garnish with fresh mint leaves or a strawberry slice if desired.
