400g strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered

125g caster sugar

15g fresh thyme

2 lemons, juice and zest

few handfuls of Ice

705ml sparkling water, plain or flavoured (we used apple and elderflower)

Put 300g of the strawberries in a pan with the sugar, half of the thyme, the lemon zest and 150ml water.
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes, stirring, until the liquid is red and the strawberries soft.
Pour through a sieve into a jug, pushing as much syrup through the sieve as possible, and leave to drain for a few minutes. Discard the berries. Allow the syrup to cool, then place in the fridge to chill for at least one hour.
Place the ice in a larger pitcher. Add the remaining strawberries and thyme along with the lemon juice and the cooled strawberry syrup. Stir and top up with sparkling water to serve.
