Ingredients
1cupHot Water
1cupSugar
1pintFresh Strawberries
1cupFresh Lemon Juicethis equaled close to 8 lemons
4cupsCold Waterthis will vary depending on your taste
Instructions
Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar with 1 cup of hot water in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and heat until the sugar in completely dissolved; swirl the pan occasionally. Let cool.
Once the simple syrup has cooled, puree strawberries in a blender with ½ cup water.
In a large pitcher, combine strawberry puree, simple syrup and lemon juice.
Add 4 - 6 cups of Cold Water.
The amount of water you use will depend on your taste, so add as little or as much as you want to achieve your perfect sweet/tart balance.
To add sugar on the rim all you do is wet the rim and dip in a pile of sugar. So easy and tastes good too.
Serve over ice. If desired, garnish with fresh strawberries and lemon slices. I do it because it looks super stinking cute!
