Wash strawberries. Remove tops and slice into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, dissolve sugar with 1 cup / 240ml water over medium low heat, swirling occasionally.
Add strawberries and lemon juice. Cook at a simmer for about 10 minutes until strawberries are mostly disintegrated.
Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Strain through a mesh sieve. Store in glass jar or bottle in the fridge until cold.
To serve, mix about 1-2 tbsp syrup with about 8 fl oz/140ml sparkling water (or lime/lemon flavored sparkling water)
