The Best Strawberry Lemonade

2 cups sugar
2 cups water
12 lemons
8 cups cold water
fresh strawberries


Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.


While the sugar is dissolving, slice and juice the 12 lemons, then add the sugar water and lemon juice to the pitcher. Add 8 cups cold water and stir. Take 3-4 large strawberries and dice. Put the strawberries in a food processor and process completely, then add the strawberries to the lemonade and stir well. Serve over ice and add additional strawberry slices to garnish.
