Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 250 milliliters dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and gently pat them dry using a paper towel.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice them in half. If the strawberries are particularly large, you can quarter them for a more manageable size.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly with the sugar and lemon zest mixture.
Pour the dry white wine over the strawberries, ensuring they are fully immersed in the wine. Use a spoon to gently stir the mixture so the flavors begin to meld.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the strawberries to macerate and absorb the wine. For a more intense flavor, you can refrigerate it for up to 2 hours.
When ready to serve, divide the strawberries and wine into individual serving dishes or bowls.
Garnish each serving with two fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added fragrance.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing dessert chilled.
