Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

2 cups cold water

2 cups ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a blender, add the chopped strawberries. Blend until smooth, and then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the seeds, if desired. Set aside.

    Juice the Lemons: Squeeze the juice from the fresh lemons, making sure to remove any seeds. Measure out 1 cup of the juice.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the strawberry puree, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

        Add Water: Pour in the cold water and mix until everything is evenly combined. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.

          Blend with Ice: In the blender, add the ice cubes to the strawberry-lemon mixture. Blend until it reaches a slushy consistency. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.

            Serve: Pour the frozen strawberry lemonade into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for a vibrant presentation.

              Enjoy: Sip on your refreshing frozen strawberry lemonade on a warm day, and enjoy the bright, fruity flavors!
