Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 60 milliliters Cointreau liqueur
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Hull the strawberries by removing their green tops, and slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Place the sliced strawberries into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the strawberries and gently toss them to ensure all pieces are coated.
Add the Cointreau liqueur and orange zest to the bowl, and gently stir the mixture to combine.
Cover the bowl with cling film or a lid and let the strawberries marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove the strawberries from the refrigerator, give them another gentle stir, and divide them into individual serving bowls or glasses.
Garnish each serving with a fresh mint leaf, if desired, and serve immediately as a refreshing dessert.
