Ingredients

Instructions

1. Put the sugar in a small saucepan and add the zest of 2 lemons. Rub the sugar and zest between your fingers to release the oils.
2. Add 1 cup of water, heat on medium-high until the sugar fully dissolves (no need to boil), then chill the syrup in the fridge.
3. Cut 10 to 12 lemons in half and squeeze out the juice into a large measuring cup. Strain it through a fine mesh sieve.
4. Wash and hull the strawberries, then blend them to a smooth purée. If you have no blender, crush them well with two forks or a potato masher.
5. In the dispenser or pitcher, place 1 cup of sliced strawberries and 2 sliced lemons, then add about 2 cups of ice.
6. Pour in the chilled syrup, the lemon juice and the strawberry purée.
7. Add 6 to 8 cups of water (start with 6) and stir well.
8. Chill for a few hours, then serve with a little ice so it does not dilute.
