How to Make Chunky Strawberry Lemonade

  1. Hull and rinse 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Place them in a medium bowl.
  2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the strawberries. Gently toss to coat. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
  3. While the strawberries are macerating, juice 4-5 lemons and 1-2 limes (depending on desired tartness) into a large pitcher or bowl.
  4. Add 2 cups of granulated sugar and 4 cups of water to the lemon-lime juice.
  5. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the remaining 4 cups of water.
  6. Gently mash the strawberries with a potato masher or fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
  7. Add the macerated strawberries to the lemonade. Stir well to combine.
  8. Serve immediately over ice, garnished with fresh strawberries and lemon or lime wedges (optional).
