First You need to prepare simple syrup. It is a sugar and water syrup that is made by boiling an equal amount of refined sugar and water. This mixture is boiled and cooled till all sugar dissolves. Then this mixture is cooled and used as required.

For this take fresh strawberries, remove the green leafy part and stalk. In a blender or food processor add a little water and blend it to make fresh strawberry puree or juice. I do not strain it as it is easy to blend fruit. Save 3-4 strawberries and slice them.

Squeeze Fresh Lemons to extract lemon juice. I like to strain it mostly to avoid tiny seeds.

Now to stir up lemonade, in a pitcher add sugar syrup, strawberry juice and fresh lemon juice along with a few crushed mint leaves or basil leaves as per your taste preference. Also add a few ice cubes and stir it with a stirrer.

Pour it in serving glasses and enjoy a cool strawberry lemonade to chill on a summer afternoon or as a pre-dinner drink.
