    I always need to make at least 3 batches of this, my friends love it for parties and I never seem to have enough! Some tips I've learned from making the recipe over and over: Each lemon, hand squeezed, only yields about 1/4c of juice maximum, so make sure you have plenty of lemons and be prepared to do lots of squeezing! Also, the simple syrup takes a while to cool completely, so I usually pour it into another container which is in an ice bath to cool it down faster before adding the strawberry puree.

    All in all this is a delicious recipe that never fails to please!
