• 1 punnet of strawberries, hulled and halved
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1-2 tablespoons of caster sugar
• Ice
• 4 x 330ml bottles of soda water
• Extra strawberries to garnish.

Place the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and whizz until smooth.

Strain through a sieve if you wish, and then devide between four glasses.

Add a handful of ice to each glass and top up with soda water.  Garnish with extra strawberry halves and a sprig of mint.
(For particularly stressful days, a shot of vodka could be a good addition!)
