- 500 grams strawberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional)
- 5 leaves basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Set them aside in a large bowl.
Grate the fresh ginger finely using a microplane or small grater.
In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger, honey, lemon juice, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Stir the glaze mixture frequently and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened and fragrant.
Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Pour the warm ginger glaze over the strawberries and gently toss to coat them evenly.
