Ingredients

  • 12 fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 7 cups water, divided
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cups ice cubes

Directions

Step 1
Mix strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar together in a bowl; set aside for juices to release from strawberries, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2
Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan; add 3/4 cup sugar. Cook and stir sugar mixture until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool simple syrup to room temperature.

Step 3
Stir simple syrup, 6 cups water, lemon juice, and ice together in a pitcher. Add sweetened strawberries and stir.

Cook’s Note:

I always mix the ice and simple syrup together first and give it a good stir so that the syrup is nice and cold before I add the remaining ingredients.
