Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 1 teaspoon Dried culinary lavender
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 250 milliliters Sparkling water
- 10 leaves Mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the dried culinary lavender and sugar. Gently crush the lavender into the sugar using the back of a spoon or a mortar and pestle to release its natural oils. Sprinkle the lavender-sugar mixture over the strawberries.
Add the lemon juice to the strawberries and toss gently to coat. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
In serving glasses or a large pitcher, add a layer of the prepared strawberries along with some of the lavender-infused juices.
Pour sparkling water over the strawberries in equal portions, dividing it among the glasses or adding to the pitcher.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and add a handful of ice cubes to each serving glass (if using a pitcher, add ice cubes before serving).
Serve immediately, and enjoy the refreshing floral and fruity flavors of the Lavender and Strawberry Fruit Cup.
