In 2 cups of water, dissolve 1/2 cup of sugar by stirring

Slice 4 to 6 strawberries in 4 to 5 slices each

Slice the 1/4 of a grapefruit, remove the rind and white completely, cut into 1 inch segments

In a small bowl, muddle 2 strawberries until almost like puree

In a quart jar or pitcher; layer the grapefruit segments, strawberry slices, and mint leaves (before placing the mint leaves into the jar rub between your fingers to release more of the flavor)

Repeat with additional layers until all the fruit and mint leaves are in the jar

Add the muddled strawberries

Pour the sugar water over everything into the jar, add additional water until the jar or pitcher is filled

Place in the fridge for 1 hour to chill

To serve fill glasses with ice cubes, pour water over the ice cubes without allowing the fruit and leaves to flow out of the jar

You can refill the jar with sweetened water several times and chill to enjoy your strawberry grapefruit minty infused water over the next couple of days
