4 cups cold water

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Prepare the Strawberries: In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup of sugar. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the blender to leave some strawberry bits.

        Add Water: Pour in the cold water and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.

          Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to an hour for the flavors to meld together.
