Strain out the strawberries, without mushing them, and allow the simple syrup to cool a bit before making the lemonade.

Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, fill the remaining space in the pitcher with ice. Optionally, add sliced strawberries and lemons for garnish. Serve.
