Add fresh strawberries into food processor.
Add ¼ cup of lemon mixture to the strawberries.

Notes
MAKE IT BUBBLY!! Replace the water with sparkling water to make a fizzy strawberry lemonade MAKE IT HARD!! Replace 1 or 2 cups of water with vodka or alcohol of your choice. MAKE IT FROZEN!! Add in some of the strawberry pulp and place some water and ice into a blender (this will need to be done in batches unless you have a really large blender)
