First make the syrup by combining the sugar with 175ml water in a saucepan and put on medium heat till the sugar is dissolved. Swirl the pan occasionally to speed up the process.

Let the syrup cool.

Sieve the pureed strawberries reserving the juice and discard any pulp.

In a large jug combine the lemon juice, strawberries and syrup.

Mix in 1250-1750ml water depending on how sweet / tart you prefer your lemonade.

Add in mint, lemon and strawberry slices, top with ice and let cool before serving.
