Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe strawberries cleaned and quartered
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice approximately 4-6 lemons
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 cups chilled water
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves and lemon wedges for decoration optional

Method
 

  1. Begin by placing the quartered strawberries in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them gently, releasing their juices.
  2. Once mashed, transfer the strawberries to a fine sieve set over a large bowl. Press down with the back of a spoon to extract the juice, discarding the solids.
  3. In a separate pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a sweet lemon base.
  4. Gradually add the strawberry juice to the lemon mixture, followed by the chilled water. Stir well to ensure everything is blended evenly.
  5. Taste your creation and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or water if needed.
  6. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  7. Serve the refreshing drink over ice and adorn with mint leaves and lemon wedges for a beautiful presentation.
