Fresh strawberries and bright lemon juice come together in this blended agua fresca that tastes like summer in a glass. The whole thing gets its sweetness from a simple maple syrup base, which dissolves beautifully and keeps the flavor clean and natural without any processed additives to second-guess. Everything goes into the blender, gets strained through a fine-mesh sieve for that silky-smooth texture, and then gets topped with a splash of sparkling water for a little effervescent lift. It's the kind of drink that looks stunning on a table with its deep pink color and a fresh lemon slice perched on the rim. Tree nut allergies can make flavored drinks and syrups a minefield, since hazelnut syrups and nut-based flavorings sneak into so many café-style beverages — but every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. Make a big pitcher for a backyard gathering or scale it down for a quiet afternoon treat; either way, it disappears fast.
