- 3-4 cups of fresh water see note
- Ice
Instructions
- Puree strawberries in a blender. Strain the strawberries and add them to a large pitcher.

- Serve with a sprig of mint and slices of strawberry, and enjoy!
Notes
- Want to make it a cocktail? Add in some vodka!
- Don't want to make the mint simple syrup? You can skip this step and add in a few tablespoons of honey to the strawberries in the blender.
- We prefer to strain out the strawberries to remove the seeds, but this is totally optional and you can skip the step of straining, if desired.
- Use only 3 cups of water if the lemonade will be sitting for a little while, as the ice will melt and water down the drink.
