Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup water

2 cups sparkling water or club soda

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries start to break down, about 5-7 minutes.

    Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Then, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the strawberries gently to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids to obtain a strawberry syrup.

      In a large pitcher, mix the strawberry syrup with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

        To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour in about 1/4 cup of the strawberry syrup mixture. Top off with sparkling water or club soda to taste. Stir gently to combine.

          Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of strawberry on the rim of the glass. Enjoy your refreshing Spectacular Strawberry Soda!
