Rinse, stem, and quarter the strawberries. Set them aside in a large bowl.

Boil water and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves (about 3–4 minutes). Let cool.

Blend the cooled syrup, strawberries, and lemon juice until smooth. Strain through a sieve for extra smoothness, if desired.

Pour into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and cover. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.

Let soften at room temp for 5–10 minutes. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy.
