A delightful and easy-to-make strawberry-infused drink, perfect for summer days.
Combine the sugar and water in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved to create a clear syrup.
Add the strawberries and lemon slices to the syrup, then increase the heat and bring to a gentle boil.
Cut the strawberries in halves for better infusion.
Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the mixture steep for 1 hour.
Allowing the mixture to steep enhances the flavor.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve lined with muslin cloth into a large bowl, pressing gently to extract the liquid.
Avoid pressing too hard to keep the liquid clear.
Transfer the strained liquid to a jug and chill in the refrigerator.
Serve the infusion over ice for a refreshing drink.
