- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 5 cups cold water
- ¼ cup fresh strawberry purée (or 2 tbsp strawberry syrup)
- Ice cubes, for serving
- Lemon slices and mint sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine lemon juice and sugar in a large pitcher. Stir until sugar dissolves completely (about 1–2 minutes).

- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or water as needed.
