Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 sprig fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice the strawberries in halves or quarters depending on their size. Place them in a serving bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the lemon juice, honey, water, and lemon zest. Stir well to ensure the honey is fully dissolved.
Heat the saucepan over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer gently (this should take about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and let the syrup cool slightly.
Pour the warm lemon honey syrup over the prepared strawberries, gently tossing to coat evenly.
Allow the strawberries to sit in the syrup for at least 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve the strawberries with lemon honey syrup in individual bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
