Instructions

TO MAKE STRAWBERRY ICE CUBES:

  • In your favorite ice tray----add the sliced strawberries into each cavity and carefully cover them with water, filling them until all completely full. Repeat until all ice cube cavities are filled. Add the tray(s) to the freezer and freeze for 3-4 hours (or overnight) until ice is formed.

TO MAKE THE STRAWBERRY SIMPLE SYRUP:

  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add together all ingredients (stirring them to combine) and bring to a boil, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2-3 minutes or so. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Discard the strawberries.

TO MAKE THE LEMONADE:

  • In a pitcher, add the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, water, and stir together to combine. Add in sliced strawberries and using a large wooden spoon, slightly mull or "crush" strawberries until broken down.
  • Refrigerate to chill or serve immediately, with strawberry ice cubes.
  • Sip and Enjoy!

Notes

STORAGE: Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator, tightly covered in your pitcher or in a sealed mason jar. Best if consumed within a few days.
