Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 60 ml Cointreau
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 4 leaves mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Remove the green stems from the strawberries and either leave them whole or slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size and your preference.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Cointreau, granulated sugar, and orange zest. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the prepared strawberries to the bowl and gently toss them to coat evenly in the liquid mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the strawberries to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to enhance the flavors.
When ready to serve, divide the strawberries and their syrup among serving bowls or glasses.
Garnish each serving with a mint leaf for a pop of freshness and color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
