1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 1/2-5 cups water , divided
1 1/2 cups fresh-squeezed lemon juice

- In a small saucepan, over medium heat, stir together sugar and 2 cups water.
- Bring to a boil, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Pour the lemon juice into a 2-quart pitcher after straining it through a fine-mesh strainer. Stir together the pureed strawberries and simple syrup. Put in the fridge to get cold. Stir in 2 ½ cups cold water just before serving. If it seems excessively sweet, taste it and add extra water.
