Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
• 1 cup strawberries, washed and leaves trimmed
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 cups water
• Ice cubes
• 4 lemon wedges
• 4 strawberry slices

Supplies

• Blender or food processor
• 4 straws or swizzle sticks (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1

   In a blender or food processor, combine the lemon juice with the strawberries and sugar. Replace the lid and process the mixture on high until the strawberries are completely puréed.

2. Step 2

   If your kids do not like pulp in their drinks, pour the mixture through a strainer and press the pulp to squeeze out all the juice.

3. Step 3

   Add the strained or unstrained mixture into a pitcher. Pour in the water and stir until the mixture is completely blended.

4. Step 4

   Fill four 8-ounce cups with ice cubes. Pour the lemonade over the ice. Garnish the drinks with a lemon wedge and a slice of strawberry serve. If your kids like a little fizz in their drinks, then use one cup of water with one cup of seltzer water.

5. Step 5

   No fresh lemons? Combine one cup puréed strawberries with one container lemonade concentrate. Add 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of seltzer.
