Blend the fruit – Combine strawberries and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Prepare the syrup – In a small saucepan, mix sugar and water. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
Cool the mixture – Remove from heat and let the sugar syrup cool slightly.
Combine ingredients – Pour the cooled sugar syrup into the blender with the strawberry-lemon mixture. Blend until fully combined.
Strain the mixture – Use a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any pulp or seeds, ensuring a smooth concentrate.
Store properly – Transfer the concentrate to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
💡 Pro Tip: For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, let the blended mixture sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before straining.
