Strawberry Coolers 
Serves: 16
 
1 pound strawberries, rinsed, drained, hulled and halved
1 cup sugar 
1 cup water
1/4 cup lime juice
club soda

In medium saucepan, combine sugar, water and lime juice and boil
for 2 minutes. Add berries and bring mixture back to boiling. Stir
in mint and lime zest. Cover and let stand 10 minutes. Strain,
without crushing or pressing. Cover and chill.

Pour syrup into tall glass. Add club soda to taste. About 4
tablespoons syrup to 1 cup club soda is what I used.

Note:  This definitely fizzes up and makes a thick layer of foam
when the syrup is fresh, so go slowly in the pouring.
