Instructions
- Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, removing the green tops and any stems.

Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, always opt for fresh strawberries and lemons. Frozen strawberries can work in a pinch, but fresh will give you that vibrant taste and color.
- Adjust Sweetness to Taste: Everyone’s palate is different, so feel free to tweak the amount of erythritol or your preferred sweetener until you find the perfect balance for your taste buds.
- Chill Your Ingredients: If you want your lemonade extra refreshing, chill the water and strawberries in advance. This way, you can serve your drink immediately without needing to add too much ice, which can dilute the flavor.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to mix things up! Add a few mint leaves for a refreshing twist or a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy version of this lemonade.
- Garnish Creatively: Besides strawberry slices, consider garnishing with lemon wheels or fresh mint for an appealing presentation that will wow your guests.
- Make a Batch: This recipe is easy to double or triple, so make a larger batch for parties or family gatherings. Just store any leftovers in the fridge and enjoy within a couple of days.
