Chill. For the Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate: In a big nonreactive mixing bowl, toss the strawberries using granulated sugar plus lemon zest. Chill, mixing with a silicone spatula every 30 minutes, till fruit has macerated and sugar has completely dissolved, around 1 hour. Juice the zested lemon halves (You should have around 1 cup of lemon juice) while that is happening. Chill juice in an airtight container till ready to use. Mix in 3/4 cup (180ml) set-aside lemon juice plus 1 1/2 cups (355ml) water plus chill for another 30 minutes when strawberries and lemon zest have macerated. Strain through a nonreactive fine sieve or piece of cheesecloth in a glass or ceramic container (you should have around 2 1/2 cups concentrate total). Put a lid on and chill the strawberry lemonade concentrate till ready to use. For Serving: Tip strawberry lemonade concentrate in a big pitcher. Mix in cold water and garnish with (5 cups) lemon slices and strawberry slices, if using. Dilute with extra water and leftover 1/4 cup lemon juice till it tastes right, if needed (see notes). Pour over ice to drink.
