Homemade limeade with fresh strawberries is a flavorful and easy drink perfect for summer sipping! Made with only four ingredients, this is a great family friendly drink that is easy enough the kids can help make it.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 1 cup of water.
Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves.
Turn off the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Wash the strawberries and remove the tops.
Place the strawberries in a food processor with 1 cup of water and blend until smooth. If desired, you can pass the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove the rest of the pulp and any bits that did not blend all the way.
Reserve the juice but throw out the remaining pulp.
Juice the limes until you have 1 cup of juice.
In a large pitcher, combine the 1 cup of cooled simple syrup, the strawberry puree, the lime juice, and 4 additional cups of water. Stir to combine.
Place in the fridge until ready to serve, and serve with ice.
