- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 0.25 cup Strawberry slices (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
Wash the strawberries and mint leaves thoroughly under cold running water.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, mint leaves, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove seeds and mint pieces. Press the mixture with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add the remaining 3 cups of water to the pitcher and stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice, if desired.
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the minty strawberry lemonade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with strawberry slices, lemon slices, and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
