Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 cups of water
  • 1 cup of loosely packed fresh mint leaves
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries
  • Lemon sparkling water (about 4 cans)

Instruction

  • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for about five minutes, until sugar is fully dissolved, then add the mint, lemon juice, and berries. Remove from heat and let cool. Pour into a carafe and refrigerate until chilled.
  • When ready to serve, pour in the sparkling water. Pour over ice into glasses garnished with additional berries.
  • You can strain out the mint and berries before adding the sparkling water, but I like to leave them in - the flavor only intensifies!
