Prepare Ingredients
Gather Cooking Equipment
Cut 1 lemon in half lengthwise through both ends. Lay lemon halves, flat side down, on cutting board, then cut each half crosswise into thin semicircles; discard ends. Put half of lemon slices and ½ cup sliced strawberries in large pitcher and set aside. Put remaining lemon slices in large bowl and add sugar and remaining 1 cup sliced strawberries.
Cutting the lemon in half before you slice it creates a flat, stable base.
Use potato masher to mash sugar, lemon slices, and sliced strawberries together until sugar is completely wet, about 1 minute. Set aside.
Cut remaining 6 lemons in half crosswise. Use citrus juicer to squeeze juice into liquid measuring cup. You should have a little over 1 cup. (Save any extra juice for another use.)
Pour lemon juice and water into bowl with lemon slices, sliced strawberries, and sugar. Use rubber spatula to stir mixture until sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 minute.
