Strawberry lemonade

Water	1 cup +
Sugar	1 cup
Lemon juice	2 cups + zest of 1
Strawberries	2 pints

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and 1 cup of water; stir occasionally until it simmers, and then set aside to cool. 
2. Rinse and remove the stems from the strawberries; puree in a blender, and then pour into a large pitcher. 
3. Add the lemon juice and zest, and then the cooled simple syrup. 
4. Fill the pitcher with water, or to taste, and then chill in the refrigerator. 

If you are bored and have extra strawberries, using a silicon mold, add a berry to each section with a bit of zest and water, and then freeze to create ice cubes. Or, simply drop in a few frozen strawberries.

For the exceptionally bored (and of the legally required age), add 1 1/2 ounces of vodka to each glassful.
