Prep: 12 minutes mins
Total: 12 minutes mins
Servings: 6 TALL GLASSES
- 2 pounds Fresh Strawberries
- 3/4 cup Fresh Lemon juice
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup Fresh Mint leaves
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup Honey (adjust according to taste)
- 5 cups Water or Soda Water or Sparkling water
Take lukewarm water and dissolve honey in it. Make sure the water is nicely warm (not boiling) as it will kill the beneficial qualities of honey. Set it aside. Wash and trim strawberries.
Wash mint leaves...
Freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Add strawberries and mint along with 1/2 cup water to the blender. Blend until thick and smooth. I prefer to pour my strawberry mix through a strainer so that the seeds are separated.
Stir in lemon juice, mint leaves and pour in water or soda water and stir. Adjust honey to taste.
I prefer to make a big batch of thick syrup and keep it stored in my refrigerator. When needed, add 2 tablespoon of thick strawberry syrup to a glass, pour cold water and enjoy over ice. So simple and refreshing!!
Enjoy over ice!!
