1

Add the water to a pot and bring to a boil. Steep the teabags for 2-3 minutes, or longer if you prefer a stronger flavour. Remove the teabags and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Set aside to cool completely. Hull and halve the strawberries. Place in a bowl and pour the syrup over and toss gently to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

In a large bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Lightly crush the meringues and place them at the bottom of two glasses, followed by a layer of lemon curd and cream. Add a layer of the macerated strawberries and repeat.
