Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 16 oz. chilled seltzer
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about two minutes. Transfer to a pitcher and refrigerate until sugar water cools, about 45 minutes. (I actually made the sugar water a day in advance) In a blender, puree the strawberries and add to the pitcher with the lemon juice.* Stir well to combine. Add the seltzer water and stir well. Pour over glasses filled with ice and serve, garnish with mint and strawberries.
*You can also pour the strawberries once they are pureed through a fine mesh sieve prior to adding to the lemon mixture.
