Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 6 small leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 3 slices Optional garnish: sliced strawberries
Instructions
Wash the strawberries and raspberries thoroughly under cold water.
Remove the green stems from the strawberries and cut them into halves.
In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and breaks down into a syrup-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher, pressing gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the fruit pulp.
Allow the strained fruit syrup to cool for a few minutes.
In a blender, add the coconut milk, cold water, ice cubes, and the cooled fruit syrup. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy.
Taste the mixture and add more sugar if desired, blending again briefly to combine.
Pour the Pretty Pink Drink into two glasses. Optionally, garnish with sliced strawberries and fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of color and elegance.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
