Instructions

In a blender, puree the strawberries until smooth.
Strain the strawberry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove seeds.
Add lemon juice and sugar to the pitcher, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour in cold water and stir to combine.
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving over ice.
Garnish with strawberry slices and lemon wheels if desired.

Notes

Adjust sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of the strawberries.
Use sparkling water instead of still water for a fizzy twist.
Can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
