Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

4 cups sparkling water

Lemon slices and strawberry slices for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries are softened (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let the mixture cool. Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jar, pressing the strawberries gently to release all their juices. Discard the solid remnants.

    Juice the Lemons: While the strawberry syrup is cooling, juice the lemons until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds.

      Combine the Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the strawberry syrup and lemon juice. Stir well to mix the flavors.

        Add Sparkling Water: Carefully pour in the sparkling water, stirring gently to combine without losing too much fizz.

          Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the sparkling strawberry lemonade over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices, strawberry slices, and mint leaves.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best sparkly effect and refreshing taste!
