Notes

For sparkling strawberry lemonade, replace 2 cups of water with sparkling water just before serving.
To make a gallon, multiply all ingredients by 3.
Use honey, agave, or simple syrup instead of sugar for a natural sweetener option.
Freeze strawberry purée in ice cube trays for quick single-serve lemonade later.
