Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 60 ml orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 30 ml lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, and honey. Whisk the mixture until the honey dissolves completely.
Add the sliced strawberries to the bowl with the citrus mixture. Gently toss to coat all the strawberries evenly with the citrus infusion.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and let the strawberries marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Once marinated, give the strawberries a quick stir before serving.
Optional: Garnish with freshly torn mint leaves for an extra burst of freshness before serving.
Serve the Citrus Infused Strawberries as they are, or use them as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
