3/4 pound fresh strawberries (about 12-20 strawberries), hulled and sliced
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
6 sprigs fresh mint
Lemonade
Ice
Garnish {optional}: Lemon slices, whole strawberries, fresh mint sprigs

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
Add sprigs of mint to lemonade, place in the fridge
In a shallow baking dish, toss the strawberries with 2 Tbsp of sugar. Arrange them in an even layer and roast for 25 minutes, or until the berries are soft, slightly darkened and juicy. Remove from the oven and let cool
While strawberries are roasting make your simple syrup. Place 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring regularly until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool completely
Transfer cooled strawberries to a blender a blender {include the strawberry juice} and purée until smooth. Gradually add simple syrup until you reach your desired level of sweetness. {Amount depends on level of sweetness desired, ripeness of strawberries, etc. Save remaining syrup for future use}
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors mingle
Pour lemonade into ice-filled glasses, place spoonfuls of strawberry purée into lemonade

Garnish with lemon slices, strawberries, and fresh mint for added taste and fanciness

  Do tou just place the mint as a garnish or do you place it sooner to let it get some flavor
