Strawberry Vanilla Lemonade (Sweetened with Stevia)

1. Place the chopped strawberries in a pot along with 2 cups of the water. Sprinkle in the stevia powder packets and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer until the strawberries break down and sauce thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Once finished, place in the fridge until cooled. You can strain the excess strawberry chunks, but I like them in the drink.
2. Combine lemon juice with the remaining 6 cups water and vanilla extract; stir. Pour in the strawberry mixture and stir to combine. You can add additional juice, water, vanilla, or stevia to your liking. The longer you let it sit, the better it gets. Enjoy over ice.
