Strawberry lemon aid

We went strawberry picking and ended up with 17 pounds of strawberries so I had to get creative on using them

Here's our homemade strawberry lemon aid and it is so good 

Ingredients 
1 cup of water
1 cup of sugar

Place these in a sauce pan and make a simple syrup. Keep on the heat till all of the sugar dissolves

1 pint fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh lemon juice about 8 lemons 
4 to 6 cups of cold water depending on taste 

Once your simple syrup has cooled slice up your pint of strawberries into a blender and 1/2 cup of water and purée 

In a large pitcher combine 
Your simple syrup, puréed strawberries and 4 to 6 cups of cold water

Mix and serve
We placed ours in mason jar cups for drinking and added a slice of lemon and ice. Perfect for a hit summers day
