Instructions
Set out the pitcher you plan to use for your lemonade.
Rinse all the lemons and pat them dry with a towel. Cut one lemon in half at a time using a butterknife. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a liquid measuring cup. Repeat with all the remaining lemons.
Remove any lemon seeds from the juice with a spoon. Pour the lemon juice into your pitcher.
Rinse the strawberries under cold water and drain them. Cut off all the green tops with a butterknife and place the berries in the pitcher of a blender. Put the lid on the blender and then puree the strawberries until smooth.
Pour the strawberry puree through a mesh colander over the pitcher to remove the seeds and pulp.
Measure the sugar and add it to the pitcher. Stir it together with a long-handled spoon until the sugar dissolves.
Measure and add 3 cups of water and stir.
Store the strawberry lemonade covered in the refrigerator until serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if you like.
