Step by Step Instructions
Cook strawberries
In a medium saucepan, add strawberries and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat until the juices have released from the strawberries. Remove from heat and let cool.
Strain them
Strain out the strawberry pulp by pushing strawberries through a fine meshed sieve, strainer or cheesecloth to collect the strawberry juice. Discard the pulp.
Squeeze a citrus
To make sugar-free lemonade, use a juicer or a citrus squeezer to squeeze the juice out of the lemons until you have 1 cup of freshly squeezed juice. Strain out lemon seeds and pulp by pouring the fresh lemon juice through a strainer. You can use concentrated store bought lemon juice too if desired.
Combine in pitcher
In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice, strawberry juice, water, sweetener and salt.

These turned out great. I used monk fruit sweetener instead of Swerve and they were still perfectly sweet. My kids loved them too.
