Heat 1 cup water and stir in 1/2 cup sugar to make simple syrup. Allow sugar water to cool. (You can leave out the sugar, but you still need the water.)
Wash & hull strawberries. Place strawberries & simple syrup in a blender. If blender is not large enough, cut down to make two batches.
Blend as much or as little as you want — smooth or chunky.
