Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, this strawberry lemonade infused water is the kind of drink that makes any afternoon feel like a special occasion. Fresh strawberries are steeped in a maple syrup simple syrup until they release all their jammy, sun-ripened juice — no refined sugar, no artificial flavoring, just real fruit doing its thing. A generous pour of freshly squeezed lemon juice brings that classic tart punch, while a splash of sparkling water added right before serving keeps things lively and effervescent in the glass. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from wheat and grain-based additives, so there's no label-scanning or second-guessing required. It's a genuinely refreshing option for gatherings where you want something that feels elevated without any of the usual ingredient stress. Serve it over ice with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint, and it looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

4 servings

For the simple syrup

¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup water

For the infused water

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
½ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4 lemons)
4 cups cold still water
1 cup sparkling water

For serving

2 cups ice cubes
4 lemon slices (optional)
4 fresh mint sprigs (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the maple syrup and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the syrup is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
2
Add the hulled and halved strawberries to the cooled maple syrup and press gently with a spoon to release their juice. Let the berries steep for 15 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
